Radmin Viewer supports the following Intel® AMT operations:
Restart the remote computer by using the remote computers physical On/Off button. This is the physical button on the remote computers case that turns on/off the electricity to the computer. AMT can send a command to the remote computer that turns this On/Off button off, then on again.
The AMT Cold Restart command
is sent directly to the electronics of the remote computer
bypassing the remote computers operating system, so all unsaved
data will be lost, exactly the same as turning the remote
computers On/Off power button.
This turns on the remote computers On/Off switch.
This turns off the remote computers On/Off power button.
If the remote computers
operating system is running it will not receive this 'shutdown'
command and all unsaved data will be lost.
This AMT command restarts the remote computer into its BIOS. This operation opens a terminal window that shows the remote computers boot up and BIOS screens and enables you to send keyboard commands to the remote computer as it boots up.
This restarts the remote computer and opens a terminal window that shows the remote computers boot sequence and enables you to send keyboard commands to the remote computer as it boots up.
This AMT command restarts the remote computer and boots it from a specified local CD-Rom or floppy (on the computer you are using to connect to the remote computer) or disk image file. This operation opens a terminal window that shows the remote computers boot sequence and enables you to send keyboard commands to the remote computer as it boots up.
Radmin Viewer supports 'Small Business' Intel® AMT security
where remote computer access is protected by login and password.
For any new Intel® AMT connection Radmin Viewer will display an
authentication window (
illustration).
Intel® AMT must be enabled and
configured on the remote computer for this command to be
effective.
A terminal window is displayed if the remote computer is connected in the 'BIOS Remote Control', 'Startup Remote Control' or 'Network Boot' Intel® AMT connection modes. This window displays all the text information that the remote computer displays during its boot up sequence, including its BIOS interface and operating systems initial loading menus. Any keyboard keys pressed on your local computer while this window is active are sent to the remote computer.

The terminal window menu has the following commands
If this is selected, Radmin Viewer uses unicode to display any special characters that are used by the remote computers BIOS and console programs to draw the user interface.
This selects the font used on your local computers monitor to display the remote computers screen.
In 'VT100+' mode the remote computers screen will be displayed using only English characters. In 'VT100-UTF8' mode the remote computers screen will be displayed with International characters support, but English characters and pseudographics could be displayed incorrectly.
Select the method Radmin Viewer will use to send the Function keys (F1....F12 key presses) to the remote computer. The correct method depends on the remote computers manufacturer.
This copies anything displayed on the remote computers screen to your local clipboard as text.
This command sends any text that is in your local computers clipboard as a string of characters (as if you typed each on your keyboard) to the remote computer.
Issues an Intel® AMT command without closing the terminal window and re-entering a password.
If you are connected to the remote computer using the 'Network
Boot' Intel® AMT connection mode the 'Network boot' window will be
displayed ( illustration).
If this is selected, the remote computer will boot from a CD-ROM or floppy disk inserted into the specified drive of your local computer (the computer you are using to connect to the remote computer).
If this is selected, the remote computer will boot from the specified CD-ROM or floppy disk image file.
