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

address:

http://172.20.5.218:16992

à

Host names (see Host Name in Step 10 of AMT Configuration above)

http://MCS-2040-AMT:16992


The remote system makes a TCP connection to the Intel AMT system and accesses the top-
level web page embedded within the ME.
