If the system finds this server, the AMT system will send a Hello message to the server. DHCP and DNS must be available for the setup and configuration server search to automatically succeed. If DHCP and DNS are not available, then the setup and configuration server's IP address must be manually entered into the AMT system's MEBx. The Hello message contains the following information: • PID • Universally Unique Identifier(UUID) • IP address • ROM and FW version numbers The Hello message is transparent to the end-user. There is no feedback mechanism to tell the user the system is broadcasting the message. The setup and configuration server uses the information in the Hello message to initiate a transport layer security (TLS) connection to the AMT system using a TLS Pre-Shared-Key (PSK) cipher suite if TLS is supported. The setup and configuration server uses the PID to lookup PPS in provisioning server database and uses the PPS and PID to generate TLS Pre-Master Secret. TLS is optional.
