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 connection so that an administrator can access and operate the computer 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.
