  • Page 2: Introduction

    2.x feature set. HP has updated this white paper to include the new features of AMT 3.0. By default, AMT shipping on the HP Compaq dc7800p Business PC will be inactive. It must be set up and configured in the system before it can be used. The setup and configuration process is also known as pro- visioning.

  • Page 3: Amt Setup And Configuration

    AMT Setup and Configuration AMT Setup involves the necessary steps to enable AMT such as setting up the system for AMT mode and enabling network connectivity. This setup is generally performed only once in the lifetime of a system. When AMT is enabled, it can be discovered by management software over a network. AMT Configuration sets up all other AMT options not covered in AMT Setup, such as enabling the system for Serial-Over-LAN (SOL) or IDE-Redirect (IDE-R).

    Setup and Configuration Server A Setup and Configuration Server (SCS) is an application that executes over a network performing AMT Setup and Configuration. It is required for Enterprise mode setup and configuration. In a PSK Setup and Configuration, both the AMT client system and the SCS must share a set of Provision- ing ID (PID) and Provisioning Passphrase (PPS).

  • Page 16: Enterprise Mode Setup And Configuration

    Enterprise Mode Setup and Configuration Enterprise mode is for large corporate customers. An SCS is required for Enterprise mode Setup and Con- figuration. The SCS is also known as a Provisioning Server as seen in the MEBx. Enterprise Mode - AMT Setup and Configuration Steps The AMT Setup portion for Enterprise mode is the same as SMB mode.
