Intel Active Management Technology Intel AMT, a set of hardware based features targeted at businesses, allow remote access to the PC for management and security tasks, when an OS is down or PC power is off. Note that AMT is not the same as Intel v. Pro AMT is only one element of a v. Pro PC. Remote configuration technology for AMT, with certificate based security. Remote configuration can be performed on bare bones systems, before the OS andor software management agents are installed. Wired and wireless laptop network connection. Intel Trusted Execution Technology Intel TXT,1. Intel TXT also protects secrets during power transitions for both orderly and disorderly shutdowns a traditionally vulnerable period for security credentials. Support for IEEE 8. X, Cisco. Self Defending Network SDN, and Microsoft. Network Access Protection NAP in laptops, and support for 8. Cisco SDN in desktop PCs. Support for these security technologies allows Intel v. Pro to store the security posture of a PC so that the network can authenticate the system before the OS and applications load, and before the PC is allowed access to the network. Intel Virtualization Technology, including Intel VT for memory, CPU, and Directed IO, to support virtualized environments. Intel VT is hardware based technology, not software based virtualization. Intel VT lets you run multiple OSs traditional virtualization on the same PC or run a specialized or critical application in a separate spacea virtual PC on the physical systemin order to help protect the application or privacy of sensitive information. Execute disable bit that, when supported by the OS, can help prevent some types of buffer overflow attacks. Support for Microsoft. Windows Vista, including Microsoft Windows Vista Bit. Locker with a Trusted Platform Module version 1. Intel graphics support for Windows Vista Aero graphical user interface. Remote managementeditIntel AMT is the set of management and security features built into v. Pro PCs that makes it easier for a sys admin to monitor, maintain, secure, and service PCs. Intel AMT the management technology is sometimes mistaken for being the same as Intel v. Pro the PC platform, because AMT is one of the most visible technologies of an Intel v. Pro based PC. Intel AMT includes Hardware based management has been available in the past, but it has been limited to auto configuration of computers that request it using DHCP or BOOTP for dynamic IP address allocation and diskless workstations, as well as wake on LAN for remotely powering on systems. VNC based KVM remote controleditStarting with v. Pro with AMT 6. 0, PCs with i. Intel graphics, now contains an Intel proprietary embedded VNC server. You can connect out of band using dedicated VNC compatible viewer technology, and have full KVM keyboard, video, mouse capability throughout the power cycleincluding uninterrupted control of the desktop when an operating system loads. Clients such as VNC Viewer Plus from Real. VNC also provide additional functionality that might make it easier to perform and watch certain Intel AMT operations, such as powering the computer off and on, configuring the BIOS, and mounting a remote image IDER. Not all i. 5 i. Processors with v. Pro may support KVM capability. This depends on the OEMs BIOS settings as well as if a discrete graphics card is present. Only Intel Integrated HD graphics support KVM ability. Wireless communicationeditIntel v. Pro supports encrypted wired and wireless LAN wireless communication for all remote management features for PCs inside the corporate firewall. Intel v. Pro supports encrypted communication for some remote management features for wired and wireless LAN PCs outside the corporate firewall. Pro laptop wireless communicationeditLaptops with v. Pro include a gigabit network connection and support IEEE 8. AMT wireless communicationeditIntel v. Pro PCs support wireless communication to the AMT features. For wireless laptops on battery power, communication with AMT features can occur when the system is awake and connected to the corporate network. This communication is available if the OS is down or management agents are missing. AMT out of band communication and some AMT features are available for wireless or wired laptops connected to the corporate network over a host OS based virtual private network VPN when laptops are awake and working properly. A wireless connection operates at two levels the wireless network interface WLAN and the interface driver executing on the platform host. The network interface manages the RF communications connection. If the user turns off the wireless transmitterreceiver using either a hardware or software switch, Intel AMT cannot use the wireless interface under any conditions until the user turns on the wireless transmitterreceiver. Intel AMT Release 2. WLAN only when the platform is in the S0 power state the computer is on and running. It does not receive wireless traffic when the host is asleep or off. If the power state permits it, Intel AMT Release 2. Sx state, but only via a wired LAN connection, if one exists. Release 4. 0 and later releases support wireless out of band manageability in Sx states, depending on the power setting and other configuration parameters. Release 7. 0 supports wireless manageability on desktop platforms. When a wireless connection is established on a host platform, it is based on a wireless profile that sets up names, passwords and other security elements used to authenticate the platform to the wireless Access Point. The user or the IT organization defines one or more profiles using a tool such as Intel PROSetWireless Software. In release 2. 56, Intel AMT must have a corresponding wireless profile to receive out of band traffic over the same wireless link. The network interface API allows defining one or more wireless profiles using the same parameters as the Intel PROSetWireless Software. See Wireless Profile Parameters. On power up of the host, Intel AMT communicates with the wireless LAN driver on the host. When the driver and Intel AMT find matching profiles, the driver routes traffic addressed to the Intel AMT device for manageability processing. With certain limitations, Intel AMT Release 4. Intel AMT configured wireless profile, as long as the host driver is active and the platform is inside the enterprise. In release 4. 2, and on release 6. WLAN is enabled by default both before and after configuration. That means that it is possible to configure Intel AMT over the WLAN, as long as the host WLAN driver has an active connection. Intel AMT synchronizes to the active host profile. It assumes that a configuration server configures a wireless profile that Intel AMT uses in power states other than S0. When there is a problem with the wireless driver and the host is still powered up in an S0 power state only, Intel AMT can continue to receive out of band manageability traffic directly from the wireless network interface. For Intel AMT to work with a wireless LAN, it must share IP addresses with the host. This requires the presence of a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses and Intel AMT must be configured to use DHCP.
