Function
SIMATIC IPC Remote Management
Keyboard Video Mouse Redirection (KVM)
This can be used to divert the keyboard video mouse signal of a
remote computer to or from an IT computer via a remote connec-
tion so that an administrator can access and operate the com-
puter without additional hardware.
Remote Power Control
This allows SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT functions to be
switched off and on via remote access, e.g. for maintenance
purposes. If the operating system of the AMT computer is no
longer operable, you can thus still perform a reset or restart.
With
this function, even the electricity costs of a company can be
reduced e.g. by specifically shutting down computers left
running by employees at night or at the weekend
Disk Redirection (IDE-R)
The AMT client can read data from an ISO image existing on the
admin computer and start programs, e.g. to carry out BIOS and
software updates.
Remote reboot
This can be used to reboot the PC by remote access from the
hard disk, CD or a network drive, e.g. following a program
update.
Web server
In addition, the Web server integrated in the AMT computer
can be accessed using a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer).
Here you can scan hardware and system information, and
actions such as power on / off / reset can be performed.
