Create a Profile with CCM

Intel® AMT devices are capable of being activated into two modes:

• Admin Control Mode (ACM): In this mode, there are no limitations to Intel AMT functionality. This reflects the higher level of trust associated with these setup methods. No user consent is required.

• Client Control Mode (CCM): This mode limits some of Intel AMT functionality, reflecting the lower level of trust.

  Features requiring User Consent:

  • Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Control
  • IDE-Redirection for sharing and mounting images remotely

Profiles provide configuration information to the AMT Firmware during the activation process with the Remote Provisioning Client (RPC).

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

   Production Environment

   In a production environment, you typically generate a random password for each AMT device to create a stronger, more secure AMT environment.

5. Provide a strong AMT Password.

   Important

   This password must meet standard, strong password requirements:

   • 8 to 32 characters

   • One uppercase, one lowercase, one numerical digit, one special character

6. Select the name of the CIRA Configuration you created previously from the drop-down menu.

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

8. Click Create.
