3. Enter the Hostname of the device.

4. Choose a Friendly Name of your choice. This provides a more user-friendly way to refer to the device.

5. Enter admin as the Username.

6. Enter the AMT Password of the device set during activation.

7. For AMT devices configured to use TLS, select the Use TLS checkbox and Allow Self-Signed Certificates checkbox.

   Important - TLS Requirement for AMT 16.1 and newer devices

   Starting with AMT 16.1, TLS is required. By default, the AMT device will come with a self-signed TLS certificate as part of the firmware. By selecting both the Use TLS and Allow Self-Signed Certificates checkboxes, AMT will utilize the built-in TLS certificate. This is the recommended path for Getting Started as it requires less initial setup.

   To use a different TLS certificate, such as a 3rd party CA signed certificate, Enterprise Assistant is required. See the Enterprise Assistant Overview and Enterprise Assistant TLS Configuration with RPC-Go documentation for additional details.

   Note - Not Sure of the AMT Version?

   If the AMT version is not known, the RPC-Go amtinfo command can be used. This will print out the device's AMT version as part of the response.

   rpc amtinfo
   

8. Click Submit.
