Intel® Setup and Configuration Service (Intel® SCS) provides the developer or ISV with the tools to set up and configure Intel® Active Management Technology devices. . The service package consists of a configuration engine and installer in source and binary form, plus a reference graphical user interface that the ISV may integrate into their own software.

• This configuration mode is relevant only for AMT systems that support Host Based Configuration
• Users can configure in CCM and later upgrade to ACM without unconfiguring in the process

• Digest Passwords can be randomized and still retrieved later - without using a database - using the Master Password

Name	Version	Publish Date	Size	Description	Release Notes	Download
System Discovery Utility (standalone)	Standalone utility with SCS 7.1	03/01/11	2K	This is only a standalone utility for developers interested in discovering AMT capable clients in their environment. System Discovery is a new feature included in version 7.0 of the Intel® Setup and Configuration Service. This standalone System Discovery utility does exactly the same as the "SystemDiscovery" command included in the Configurator component of Intel® SCS. System Discovery allows you to obtain data about Intel® Active Management Technology from systems in your network. This data can help organizations to decide how to configure and use Intel AMT.

Intel® AMT Configuration Utility (standalone)	Standalone utility with SCS 7.1	03/01/11	3MB	This is only a standalone utility for developers interested in configuring AMT capable clients in their environment with the USB key configuration method. For AMT versions 6.x and above, you may only configure with user consent. For IT admin control mode, please refer to the Intel® SCS source kit (below).	Intel® SCS 7.1 Help Wizard	ACU_Wizard.zip
Intel® SCS (source kit)	7.1.5.19	03/01/11	49MB	The source kit contains: Intel® AMT Configuration Utility (ACU) - previously known as the Activator, this CLI-based utility allows configuring systems in either Client Control Mode or Admin Control Mode. Remote Configuration Service (RCS) - The service component for configuring systems versions AMT 2.1 - 7.0 in Admin Control Mode. GUI Wizard - Defines profiles and provides a graphical interface for configuring a local system. System Discovery Utility - Obtains data for AMT capable systems in the environment. Migration Utility - Supports profile and credential migrations from SCS 5.x to 7.0.	Intel® SCS 7.1 Release Notes	Intel® SCS 7 Source Kit.zip

Online support for the Intel® Setup and Configuration Service is available online through the Manageability Software Development Forum.

The Remote Encryption Management SDK gives source code (as well as a working sample executable) that can be used to add the ability to remotely unlock a vPro system in a powered off state to an existing hard drive encryption solution. It also provides a Linux based ISO image that is loaded on the vPro system and contains the functionality used to unlock the system remotely. This ISO is not required; the functionality it contains can be integrated into an existing encryption solution’s Pre-Boot Environment. This SDK is intended to be used with the Intel® AMT SDK, which contains more detailed documentation on provisioning the vPro systems and the SOL and IDE-R functionality that the Remote Encryption Management SDK makes use of.

The SDK runs in a Microsoft® Windows .NET 2.0 environment and builds on top of WinRM in the default WS-Man mode, and requires Visual Studio 2008. In legacy mode (also known as EOI), WinRM is not required, and for a deployed solution WinRM would not necessarily be required (the AMT SDK provides examples using the OpenWSMan library). The ISO image that is transferred to the vPro system is built using Linux, and the source code for this image is included in the SDK.

Main Application: Graphical Interface which acts as primary interface to end user. Communicates with Remote Encryption Management Library to execute the Remote Encryption Management use cases such as unlock and provide status feedback.

Remote Encryption Management Library: Library that provides the functions to execute the Remote Encryption Management use cases. Communicates with the Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) Library to execute all functionality related specifically to Intel® AMT functionality. Communicates with the ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Library to generate and process WS-MAN formatted string used to communicate with the ATA-Over-LAN Bridge application. Writes messages to the SOL communication channel and reads messages from SOL communication channel.

Intel® AMT Library: Library with functions to perform Intel® AMT functionality using either WS-MAN or EOI (legacy interface) protocols. This library includes functionality such as verifying connection to Intel® AMT client system, remote power management, and redirection for SOL/IDER.

ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Library: Library which is used to generate WS-MAN formatted messages to be sent to the ATA-Over-LAN Bridge application and process response messages received from ATA-Over-LAN Bridge application. This library is strongly tied to ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Application; but does not communicate directly with ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Application.

SOL Communication Channel: Communication channel which is used to send messages between the Remote Encryption Management Library and the Intel® vPro client system running the Remote Encryption Management Bridge ISO. SOL session functionality is implemented using the Intel® AMT Library.

Remote Encryption Management Bridge Image: ISO image which is pushed to Intel® vPro client system and booted to in IDER session. ISO image contains ATA-Over-LAN Bridge application which will automatically start after ISO is booted. For PBA solutions this component is not needed.

ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Application: Application that runs on Intel® AMT client system. Applications reads WS-MAN formatted messages sent over SOL communication channel, performs action specified in WS-MAN formatted message, and writes response WS-MAN formatted messages out to SOL communication channel. This application is strongly tied with ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Library, but does not communicate directly with the ATA-Over-LAN Bridge Library. For PBA solutions this component is integrated into the PBA.

Manageability Application/Manageability Interface: The Manageability Interface is a WS-MAN service which provides an example interface for an external application (such as the manageability application in this diagram) to interface to the security application providing Remote Encryption Management support.
