Intel AMT WebGUI The Intel AMT WebGUI is a Web browser-based interface for limited remote system management. The WebGUI is often used as a test to determine if AMT Setup and Configuration was performed properly on a system. A successful remote connection between a remote system and the host system running the WebGUI indicates proper AMT Setup and Configuration on the remote system. The AMT WebGUI is accessible from the following Web Browsers: • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or newer • Netscape Navigator 7.1 or newer • Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or newer • Mozilla 1.7 or newer Limited remote system management includes: • Hardware inventory • Event logging • Remote system reset • Changing of network settings • Addition of new users and passwords • Updating ME firmware WebGUI support is enabled by default for SMB Setup and Configured systems. WebGUI support for Enterprise Setup and Configured systems is determined by the Setup and Configuration Server. Connecting with the Intel AMT WebGUI - SMB Example 1. Power on an AMT system that has completed AMT Setup and Configuration. 2. Execute a Web browser from a separate system - a Management computer on the same subnet as the AMT computer. 3. Connect to the IP address specified in the MEBx and port of the AMT system. a. By default, the port is 16992. b. If DHCP was used, then use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the ME. The FQDN is the combination of the hostname and domain. Example A: http://192.168.0.1:16992 Example B: http://intelamt.intel.com:16992 The Management computer makes a TCP connection to the AMT system and accesses the top level AMT-embedded Web page within the Management Engine of the AMT system. 14
