# SMB/Manual Configuration

The SMB/Manual configuration method lets you configure the Intel AMT device with basic configuration settings. Configuration is done locally at the Intel AMT system with a USB key containing a configuration file (Setup.bin).

After configuration, the Intel AMT device is put in one of these modes:

- Small Medium Business (SMB) Mode – Intel AMT 4.x and 5.x devices are put in this mode. Advanced (optional) Intel AMT features are not available to devices in this mode.
- Manual Mode – Intel AMT 6.x and higher devices are put in this mode. All Intel AMT features are available to devices in this mode if a third-party application can configure them.

You can use the Configuration Utility to create the Setup.bin file. For more information, see:

- SMB/Manual Configuration

- Defining Manual Configuration (Multiple Systems)

Alternatively, you can use the ConfigViaUSB command of the Configurator (see Configuring a System using a USB Key).

Note:
This method is not available for systems with Intel AMT 2.x and 3.x because they cannot read the Setup.bin file.
