amttool(1)		     General Commands Manual		      amttool(1)

NAME
     amttool - remotely control Intel AMT managed machines.

SYNOPSIS
     amttool host [ command ] [ arg(s) ]

DESCRIPTION
     amttool  is  a perl script which speaks SOAP to Intel AMT managed machines.
     It can query informations about the machine in question and also send  some
     commands for basic remote control.

     host  is  the hostname or IP address of the machine amttool should control.
     command is an optional command.

     You must set fill AMT_PASSWORD environment variable with the AMT password.

     For more inforamtions on Intel AMT check amt-howto(7).

     Note: Starting with AMT 9.0 Intel has removed support for the old SOAP pro-
     tocol which is used by amttool.  Only WS Management (added in AMT	3.0)  is
     supported	by  recent  machines.	You can use wsmancli (see http://openws-
     man.sf.net, your distro should have packages ready) instead.

COMMANDS
     info   gather information (default).

     reset [ special ]
	    reset machine, with optional special command (see section below).

     powerup [ special ]
	    turn on machine.

     powerdown
	    turn off machine.

     powercycle [ special ]
	    powercycle machine.

     netinfo
	    print network configuration (requires AMT 2.5+).

     netconf if link [ ip mask gw [ dns1 [ dns2 ]]]
	    configure network interface (requires AMT 2.5+).  if is  the  inter-
	    face  handle,  link  the link policy.  If in doubt just feed in what
	    the netinfo command prints.  ip is the IPv4 address, mask  the  net-
	    mask, gw the default gateway, dns1 and dns2 are the DNS Servers.  If
	    no IP configuration is specified the tool tries to configure the ma-
	    chine  in  shared  mac address mode with dhcp, otherwise in separate
	    mac address mode with static IP address.  Default for  dns1  is  the
	    gateway address, for dns2 it is 0.0.0.0.

     cycle.  They change the default boot behavior of the machine.
