About configuring Intel AMT computers for out-of-band management
Manual If you cannot purchase a remote configuration certificate, or if you
initialization have computers with Intel AMT versions that do not support Remote
Configuration, you must visit the physical location of each Intel AMT
computer and initialize them manually.
In some cases, you can perform one-touch manual initialization using
a USB key. In other cases, you must type security keys (PID-PPS pairs)
into the Intel AMT device manually through the BIOS.

When initialized for the first time, the Intel AMT device sends Hello messages to
Intel SCS periodically for about six hours. If for some reason the configuration
server is unavailable for more than six hours, Intel AMT setup and configuration
fails. To set up and configure the Intel AMT device, you must resend Hello
messages when the configuration server becomes available.
See "About resending Hello messages"
If you want to initialize, set up, and configure Intel AMT capable notebook
computers, make sure you connect the computers to the wired network.

Setup and configuration (sometimes referred to as provisioning) is a process of
data exchange between the Intel AMT device and the configuration server. At the
end of the setup and configuration process the Intel AMT computer is ready for
out-of-band management.
The setup and configuration process starts right after you initialize the Intel AMT
computer.
