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.
