Overview Of Amt - Siemens SIMATIC IPC547D Operating Instructions Manual

The following figure shows the possible structure of a network for remote management on
the basis of SIMATIC AMT-PCs.
From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
SIMATIC IPCs that support AMT feature two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive a SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in the
BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) has to be activated and
set for AMT. You make additional settings in the Management Engine:
● Configuring the network for access via AMT
● Creating a password
