utility allows the user to configure various aspects of the management technology. Configuration
options include:
ME Platform Configuration
ME Platform State Control—enable/disable management engine
ME Firmware Local Update—local enable/disable management of firmware updates
LAN Controller—enable/disable integrated network controller
ME Features Control—enable AMT, ASF, or none
ME Power Control—configure management engine power policies

Change AMT Password—required in order to configure AMT (the default password is
admin)
Host Name—allows administrator to assign a name to the client
TCP/IP—allows administrator to assign an IP address or enable DHCP
Provisioning Server—allows administrator to assign IP address of provisioning server
Provision Model—allows administrator to configure either enterprise or SMB mode
Set PID and PPS—allows administrator to provide pre-provisioning key (see HP’s white
paper, Intel vPro Provisioning)

Change MEBx Password (HP highly recommends that this password be changed. The

In order to remotely manage AMT systems, the administrator must use a remote console that
supports AMT. Enterprise management consoles are available from suppliers such as HP
OpenView, Altiris and Microsoft SMS. In SMB mode, the client provides a Web browser
interface. To access this feature, open a browser from any other system on the network and enter
http://host_name:16992 where host_name is the name assigned to the system.
Alternatively, the IP address may be used in place of the host name.
