CCM Activation

Client Control Mode (CCM) provides full access to features of Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), but it does require user consent for all redirection features.

These features require user consent in CCM:

  • Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM): Control multiple devices with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
  • Serial-over-LAN (SOL): Manage devices with a command line interface (CLI) through SOL.
  • IDE Redirection: Share and mount images remotely with a specified storage media (e.g., USB flash drive).

Create a Profile

Profiles provide configuration information to the firmware on platforms featuring Intel® AMT during the activation process with the Remote Provisioning Client (RPC).

Note - More Information about Passwords

Open AMT Cloud Toolkit increases security with multiple passwords. Find an explanation of toolkit passwords in Reference -> Architecture Overview.

To create a CCM profile:

  1. Select the Profiles tab from the menu on the left.

  2. Under the Profiles tab, click New in the top-right corner to create a profile.

  3. Specify a Profile Name of your choice.

  4. Under Activation Mode, select Client Control Mode from the dropdown menu.

  5. Enable desired redirection features for the profile under AMT Features - Enable/Disable features.

  6. Provide or generate a strong AMT Password. AMT will verify this password when receiving a command from Console. This password is also required for device deactivation.

  7. The MEBX Password field is disabled. The password for Intel® Manageability Engine BIOS Extensions (Intel® MEBX) cannot be set when activating in CCM due to the lower level of trust when compared to ACM.

  8. Choose DHCP or Static based on environment for the Network Configuration.

  9. This express setup assumes the managed device (i.e. AMT device) is on a wired connection for quickest setup. To learn more about a Wireless Setup, see the Wireless Activation Tutorial.

  10. For quickest setup, select Non TLS under Provisioned Connection Configuration.

  11. Optionally, add Tags to help in organizing and querying devices as your list of managed devices grow.

  12. Click Save.
