Always Open qualifies the override counter and allows local ME firmware updates. The override counter is a value set in the factory that, by default, allows
local ME firmware updates. The Never Open and Restricted options disqualify the override counter and do not allow local ME firmware updates unless
explicitly permitted with the Intel ME Firmware Local Update option. Selecting Never Open or Restricted adds the Intel ME Firmware Local Update option,
which can be set to Enable or Disable. By default it is disabled.
LAN Controller
Many OEMs' platforms supply a BIOS setup option to enable or disable the integrated LAN controller. In an ME operating system with AMT or ASF (Alert
Standard Format) capabilities, the LAN controller is shared between the ME and host and must be enabled for AMT to work correctly. Disabling the controller
may unintentionally affect the ME subsystem functionality. Therefore, you should not disable the LAN controller as long as the ME uses it to provide AMT or ASF.
However, if the platform's integrated LAN controller BIOS option is set to None, then the LAN Controller option on the ME Platform Configuration menu has
Enabled and Disabled options.
When you select the LAN Controller option on the ME Platform Configuration menu when the ME feature (Intel AMT or Intel QST) is selected, the following
message displays: Please set Manageability Feature to None before changing this option. For the ME platform client, the default LAN Controller setting is
Enabled.
