Functions

9.8 AMT (Active Management Technology)

SIMATIC IPC627C

Operating Instructions, 11/2010, A5E02669068-02

9.8 AMT (Active Management Technology)

Function

AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of

computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the

following functions:

● Keyboard–Video–Mouse (KVM) redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT

hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs

that have no or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is always possible

with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can restart the PC and

change the BIOS setup remotely.

● Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from

another PC.

● SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The

main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.

● IDE redirection: An ISO file on the help desk PC can be mounted on the AMT PC and

used as a DVD drive.

An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD structured in the ISO

9660 format.

● Remote reboot: An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by

another PC.

Requirements

● A device with a Core i5 or Core i7 processor

● A functioning and configured management engine

● A functioning and configured Ethernet connection

● A help desk PC with a functioning and configured Ethernet connection for the full AMT

functionality

Configuration of the AMT PC

You configure AMT using the BIOS setup and the MEBx (Management Engine BIOS

Extension). MEBx is a BIOS extension for configuring AMT.

1. When the BIOS appears briefly during startup, press the <Ctrl+P> keyboard shortcut. The

"MEBx" dialog opens.
