Intel AMT Applications
-======================
-
- 1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
-
- Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
- 2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
- over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
- SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
- local application using the same network interface as a remote application
- communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
-
- When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
- name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
- intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
- For more information:
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
-
- For downloading Intel LMS:
- http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
-
- The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
- firmware feature using a defined UUID and then communicates with the feature
- using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
- The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
- single application.
-
- See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
- => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
- => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
-
- 2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
-
- A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
- without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
- configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
- agent that runs on the host.
- For more information:
- http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
- Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
- "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
- "Using the Local Agent Sample"
-
- An open source Intel AMT configuration utility, implementing a local agent
- that accesses the Intel MEI driver, can be found here:
