# Configuring a System using a USB Key

Command | ConfigViaUSB
Description | Creates a file containing configuration settings. When the Intel AMT system is rebooted with a USB key containing this file, Intel AMT is configured on the system. For more information, see SMB/Manual Configuration. The Configurator does not restrict the size of USB key you can use. But, the computer BIOS must fully support the selected USB key and be able to boot from it. Note: The settings you can define are limited. If additional settings are required, they must be performed by a third-party application. This command puts the Intel AMT device in the Admin Control mode (see Control Modes). You can use this option to define certain KVM parameters not available in Client Control.
Syntax | ACUConfig.exe [global options] ConfigViaUSB {/NewMEBxPass <password>} [/CurrentMEBxPass <password>] [/OutputFile <filename>] [/PowerPackage <guid>] {{/UsingDhcp}| {/HostName <host_name> /DomainName <domain_name> /LocalHostIp <ip> /SubnetMaskIp <subnet_mask> [/GatewayAddrIp <ip> ] [/DnsAddrIp <ip>] [/SecondaryDnsAddrIp <ip>]}} [/EnableKVM <false | true>] [/EnableUserConsent <none | kvm_only | all_redirection>] [/EnableRemoteITConsent <false | true>]
Parameters
[global options] | See CLI Global Options
/NewMEBxPass <password> | The new password to put in the Intel MEBX (see Password Format). This parameter is mandatory, even if the password has already been changed from the default of “admin”.
/CurrentMEBxPass <password> | The current Intel MEBX password. The default password of unconfigured systems is “admin”. This parameter is not required for systems that have the default password.
/PowerPackage <guid> | Power Package GUID (see Power Package GUIDs)
/OutputFile <filename> | The name of the file and the path to the location where you want to save it. If this parameter is not used, by default the file is created in the same folder as the Configurator. The file must be named Setup.bin and must be placed in the root folder of the USB key. To make sure that Setup.bin is the first file that the BIOS will find during reboot (requirement), format the USB key before creating/copying the file. If the Intel AMT system does not successfully reboot with the USB key you prepared, try this: Make sure that the file name starts with a capital “S” Format the USB key using FAT16 Note: The Setup.bin file is NOT encrypted. Make sure that you restrict access to it. After configuration is complete, the Configurator deletes the data contained in the file. This means that you must create a new file for each system you want to configure. The Configurator overwrites any existing file with the same name without giving a warning.
/UsingDhcp | Sets the DHCP mode to enabled in the Intel MEBX
/HostName <host_name> | Intel AMT system hostname (1 – 32 characters)
/DomainName <domain_name> | Intel AMT system domain name (0 – 63 characters)
/LocalHostIp<ip> | The IP address (IPV4) to set in the Intel MEBX. If you supply this parameter, the /SubnetMaskIp parameter is mandatory (the remaining IP parameters are optional).
/SubnetMaskIp <subnet_mask> | The subnet mask IP address to set in the Intel MEBX
/GatewayAddrIp <ip> | The default gateway IP address to set in the Intel MEBX
/DnsAddrIp <ip> | The preferred DNS IP address to set in the Intel MEBX
/SecondaryDnsAddrIp <ip> | An alternate DNS IP address to set in the Intel MEBX
/EnableKVM <false | true> | Enable/Disable support for KVM redirection. Note: This parameter is mandatory on systems with Intel AMT 6.0 and higher. If you do not supply it, configuration will fail on those systems.
/EnableUserConsent <none | kvm_only | all_redirection> | Defines for which redirection operations user consent is mandatory. For more information, see User Consent. Note: You can use the all_redirection option only on systems with Intel AMT 7.x and higher.
/EnableRemoteITConsent <false | true> | Defines if it is permitted to remotely make changes to the user consent setting in the Intel AMT device
