Using the Web UI
The WebUI is a browser-based interface that provides limited support for remote system
management. It is often used to verify that Intel AMT setup and configuration has been
performed properly on a system. Obtaining a successful connection between a remote
system and the system running the WebUI indicates proper Intel AMT setup and
configuration on the remote system.
The WebUI is accessible from the following web browsers:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or newer
• Mozilla Firefox
Remote system management capabilities include:
• Hardware inventory
• Event logging
• Remote system reset
• Updating network settings
• Adding new users and passwords
• Updating ME firmware
WebUI support is enabled by default for Manual mode setup and configuration.
Connecting with the WebUI in Manual mode
1 Power on an Intel AMT system that is in its operational phase.
2 Invoke a web browser on a separate system (such as a management PC) that is on the
same subnet as the Intel AMT system.
3 Connect to the Intel AMT system using the IP address and port specified in the MEBx.
•
By default, the port is 16992
•
If DHCP has been specified, then use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for
the ME, which is a combination of the hostname and domain as in the following
examples:
à
IPv4
à
Host names (see Host Name in Step 10 of AMT Configuration above)
The remote system makes a TCP connection to the Intel AMT system and accesses the top-
level web page embedded within the ME.
