Technical specifications
8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)
SIMATIC IPC547G
166 Operating Instructions, 04/2020, A5E49948632-AA
From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
A SIMATIC IPC that supports AMT features two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive the SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in
the BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel
®
Management Engine (Intel
®
ME) has to be activated
and set for AMT. Set the following in the Management Engine:
● Configure network for access via AMT
● Create password
