Intel AMT Configuration sets up all other Intel AMT options not covered in Intel AMT Setup, such as enabling the computer for Serial-Over-LAN (SOL) or IDE-
Redirect (IDE-R).
You can change the settings modified in the configuration phase many times over the course of a computer's life span. Changes can be made to the computer
locally or through a management console.
Enterprise Mode Provisioning Methods
There are two methods of provisioning a computer with Enterprise mode:
l Legacy
l IT TLS-PSK
Legacy
If you want Transport Layer Security (TLS), execute the legacy method of Intel AMT setup and configuration on an isolated network separate from the
corporate network. A setup and configuration server (SCS) requires a secondary network connection to a certification authority (an entity which issues digital
certificates) for TLS configuration.
Initially the computers are shipped in the factory-default state with Intel AMT ready for configuration and provisioning. These computers must go through Intel
AMT setup in order to go from the factory-default state to the setup state. Once the computer is in the setup state, you can continue to configure it manually
or connect it to a network where it connects with an SCS and begin Enterprise Mode Intel AMT configuration.
IT TLS-PSK
IT TLS-PSK Intel AMT setup and configuration is usually performed in a company's IT department. The following are required:
l Setup and configuration server
l Network and security infrastructure
Intel AMT capable computers in the factory-default state are given to the IT department, which is responsible for Intel AMT setup and configuration. The IT
department can use any method to input Intel AMT setup information, after which the computers are in Enterprise mode and in the In-Setup phase. An SCS
must generate PID and PPS sets.
Intel AMT configuration must occur over a network. The network can be encrypted using the Transport Layer Security Pre-Shared Key (TLS-PSK) protocol. Once
the computers connect to an SCS, Enterprise mode configuration occurs.

been customized for Dell computers.
Enterprise mode (for large corporate customers) requires a setup and configuration server (SCS). An SCS runs an application over a network that performs
Intel AMT setup and configuration. The SCS is also known as a provisioning server as seen in the MEBx. An SCS is typically provided by independent software
vendors (ISVs) and is contained within the ISV management console product. Consult with the management console supplier for more information.
To setup and configure a computer for Enterprise mode, you must enable the Management Engine for Enterprise mode and configure Intel AMT for Enterprise
mode.Forinstructions,seeME Configuration: Enabling Management Engine for Enterprise Mode and AMT Configuration: Enabling Intel AMT for Enterprise
Mode.

To enable Intel ME configuration settings on the target platform, perform the following steps:
1. Turn on the computer and during the boot process, press <Ctrl><p> when the Dell logo screen appears to enter the MEBx application.
2. Type admin in the Intel ME Password field. Press <Enter>. Passwords are case sensitive.
You must change the default password before making changes to the MEBx options.
