Appendix B: Questions and answers
How can the MEBx be locally accessed?
The MEBx can be locally accessed by pressing CTRL-P during POST.
What is the default username and password for the MEBx?
The default username and password are both “admin”.
Why does the MEBx not accept my new password?
All MEBx passwords, other than the default password, must comply with the strong password
guidelines. See the Password Guidelines section for more details.
What happens if the wrong password is entered incorrectly multiple times?
Once the password is entered incorrectly three times, the system will reboot. The user can go back
into the MEBx after the reboot and attempt to enter the password again.
Can the WebGUI be used locally to access the MEBx on the system it is running from?
No. This is because WebGUI access has to come from an outside network to a specific IP and port.
Local access does not originate from an outside network.
Why does a new password set with the WebGUI cannot be used locally in the MEBx?
An AMT Admin password set with the WebGUI is a remote password and will only work when
accessing the AMT system remotely. It does not work with the MEBx locally. The local password must
be used to locally access the MEBx.
Is TLS required?
No. TLS is optional.
If TLS is not used, then what is used?
HTTP Digest will be used for mutual authentication if TLS is not used.
Who provides Setup and Configuration Servers?
HP OpenView and ISVs such as Altiris provide Setup and Configuration Servers. Check with your
management console supplier to see if they offer this service.
Can AMT be set for static address and the OS set for DHCP or vice versa?
No. Although it can be done, this is not a supported setting by Intel and may cause unexpected
system behavior.
What is the default port used by the Intel WebGUI?
The Intel WebGUI listens to port 16992.
What is the difference between the ME and AMT?
The ME is the controller that manages AMT. Notice, clearing AMT settings does not affect ME settings
since the ME is a separate entity.
