to higher minor versions, but upgrade upgrading to higher major versions require requires newer hardware.
There are a lot of different versions of AMT, and different versions support different
methods of configuration and different features. To get an overview of the version-specific configurations method and features, read more here:

by typing the following URL: http://hostname:16992 (even when the AMT device is powered
off). If the AMT-capable machine is set up in enterprise mode instead use port 16993
and httpsHTTPS.
It will ask you for credentials, and the default username is ”admin” while the password

In order for the AMT operations to be carried out, credentials for AMT must be configured, and this is done in the System Management options. A username and password that match the configurations on the AMT-enabled machines must be supplied. The checkbox below determines whether or not the replicator will attempt to use AMT in the wake on Wake-On-Lan requests it receives. The replicator will always send a standard WOL package on these requests, and will in addition to this attempt a an AMT WOL if this setting is enabled. 
AMT operations in CMS
To wake up og or shut down a computer using AMT, you right-click the computer in Configuration Manager and expand the AMT menu. If the computer is configured correctly for AMT and the credentials from the System Management options match this, the wake-up or shut-down command will be sent to the computer. A connection with the target computer is established, and if successful a reply will be returned to confirm if the operations were carried out or not.
You can also select multiple computers and use the AMT commands on these, and the status is returned and displayed for each to verify if it was successful or not.

The Intel^®^ AMT WebGUI is a Web browser-based interface for limited remote computer management. The WebGUI is often used as a test to determine if Intel AMT setup and configuration was were performed properly on a computer. A successful remote connection between a remote computer and the host computer running the WebGUI indicates proper Intel AMT setup and configuration on the remote computer.
The Intel AMT WebGUI is accessible from any Web browser, such as the Internet Explorer^®^ Explorer® or Netscape^®^ Netscape® applications.
Limited remote computer management includes:
- Hardware inventory
- Event logging
- Remote computer reset
- Changing of network settings
- Addition of new users
...
Follow the steps below to connect to the Intel AMT WebGUI on a computer that has been configured and set up:
- Turn on an Intel AMT-capable computer that has completed Intel AMT setup and configuration.
- Launch a Web browser from a separate computer, such as a management computer on the same subnet as the Intel AMT computer.
- Connect to the IP address specified in the MEBx and port of the Intel AMT-capable computer. (example: http://ip_address:16992 or http://192.168.2.1:16992)
- By default, the port is 16992. Use port 16993 and httpsHTTPS:// to connect to the Intel AMT WebGUI on a computer that has been configured and set up in the Enterprise mode.
- If DHCP is used, then use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the ME. The FQDN is the combination of the hostname and domain. (example: http://host_name:16992 or http://system1:16992)
The management computer makes a TCP connection to the Intel AMT-capable computer and accesses the top-level Intel AMT-embedded Web page within the Management Engine of the Intel AMT-capable computer.
- Type the username and password.
The default username is admin and the password is what was set during the Intel AMT setup in the MEBx.
...
You can change the MEBx password for the remote computer in the WebGUI. Changing the password in the WebGUI or a remote console results in two passwords. The new password, known as the remote MEBx password, only works remotely with the WebGUI or remote console. The local MEBx password used to locally access the MEBx is not changed. You have to remember both the local and remote MEBx passwords to access the computer MEBx locally and remotely. When the MEBx password is initially set in the Intel AMT setup, the password serves as both the local and remote passwordpasswords. If the remote password is changed, then the passwords are out of sync.
