*  1. Overview
**********************************************************************
Intel® Management and Security Status Application is a Microsoft* Windows* application that displays information about a platform’s 
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), Intel® Remote PC assist (Intel® RPAT) and Intel ® Standard Manageability services.
The Intel® Management and Security Status icon indicates whether Intel® AMT, Intel® RPAT and Intel ® Standard Manageability are 
running on the platform. The icon is located in the notification area. By default, the notification icon is displayed every time Windows* starts.
This application is executed and installed as part of the Intel(R) ME components installation bundle.

NOTE: The Intel(R) Management and Security Status application is available to users with "administrator" privileges 
and "non-administrator" privileges.


**********************************************************************
*  2. System Requirements
**********************************************************************

The Intel® Management and Security Status Application is supported on the following 
operating systems:
	- Windows* XP SP1/2 (32 bit)
	- Windows Vista* (32 and 64 bit)
	- Windows* 7 (32 and 64 bit)

To enable installation and use of the Intel® Management and Security Status Application, 
the following are required on the platform:

	- Intel®5 Series Express Chipset
	- Windows* XP or Windows Vista* 32/64
	- Microsoft* .NET Framework 3.5 (When working with Microsoft* .NET Framework 2.0 - minor issues might appear)
	- The Intel® MEI driver. 
	- User Notification Service (UNS)
	- Local Manageability Service (LMS)

Note:	For Intel® AMT versions 6.0 there is a bundled installation package 
for the following components: Intel® Management and Security Status Application, Intel ® MEI driver and LMS/SOL driver.
Please see the Bring-up User Guide for more information. 



**********************************************************************
  3. Usage
**********************************************************************

The Intel® Management and Security Status Application is installed as part of Intel(R) ME components 
installation bundle when the Setup.exe is executed. After being installed, by defualt the application 
appears on the task bar and is operated every time Windows* boots.

When the user opens the application (either by double-clicking on the tray icon - or opening the application from Windows* start menu - 
the following tabs will be displayed:

3.1 	General tab 

The General tab provides basic information about the Intel® AMT, Intel® RPAT and Intel ® Standard Manageability status and events.

3.2 	Intel (R) AMT / Intel (R) Standard Manageability tab

At any given state only one of the above technologies can be supported on the system, hence Intel (R) AMT tab will be displayed in case 
Intel (R) AMT is enabled on the system, Intel (R) Standard Manageability will be shown when Intel (R) Standard Manageability is enabled etc.

This tab will provide the following:

  - Fast Call for Help section - (*only relevant to Intel (R) AMT ) provides CILA (Client Initiated Local Access) or CIRA (Client Initiated Remote Access) capabilities 
	depending on whether the system is connected to the corporate network or not, respectively. CIRA allows a user to connect the 
	Intel® AMT system to the company’s Information Technology network from an external internet connection. Click the Get Technical 
	Help button to connect to your Information Technology network for system diagnostics and maintenance. The current connection status 
	is displayed in this section as well. CILA (Client Initiated Local Access) feature allows a user connected to the internal corporate 
	network to send a support request to the IT administrator.
  
  - Support Session status section 

	The following information is provided in the Support Session status section:
	
	Remote Control Connection - Indicates whether there is any open KVM (Keyboard, Video & Mouse) Remote Control session.
	Click the Stop Session button to close an open Remote control session.
	
	Disconnection hot key - Indicates what is the hot key used to close an open KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) Remote Control session.
	Click on the Change button to choose a different hot key for terminating an open KVM Remote control session
	
	Media Redirection - Indicates whether there are any open IDE redirection sessions. Possible values: Connected/ Disconnected/ Information unavailable

	Terminal/Keyboard Redirection - Indicates whether there are any open terminal/keyboard redirection sessions.
	Possible values: Connected/ Disconnected/ Information unavailable. 

  - System Defense State 

	System Defense State - Indicates whether System Defense is currently active. Possible values: Activated/Not activated/ Information unavailable.

3.3	Advanced Tab

The advanced tab holds the following: 

 - Intel (R) Manageability Engine (Intel (R) ME) status and FW version
 - Secure Output Window Setting - in this sub-section the user can change the appearance of Secure output messages sent by the FW (for instance when remote connection is initiated). 
 - Network information 
 - Extended system details about Intel (R) ME (UUID, Intel (R) MEI driver version, LMS version etc.)

  4. Customized configuration of Intel® Management and Security Status Application
************************************************************************************

4.1	General tab logo

The logo displayed in the general tab can be substituted in order to match the visual identity of 
the computer supplier. For example, a particular manufacturer may prefer to display the company’s logo.
To change the logo, add a bitmap file called oemlogo.bmp to the Intel® Management and Security Status folder
(located at Program Files\ Intel\ Intel ® Management Engine Components\IMSS). The default logo will appear 
if the bitmap file is invalid or absent.

Note:	The bitmap dimensions must be 62 (width) by 48 (height) or at the same proportions as 62 X 48. This is because the logo will be resized to match the logo size in the general tab.

4.2	Load on Start-Up options

By default, Intel® Management and Security Status loads on windows startup. A user can uncheck the "Intel ® Management
and Security Status will be available next time I log on to Windows" check box to prevent it from happening.

To disable application load on startup for all users, add a value named AppAutoStartDefaultVal with value 0 to 
the following registry location HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\PIcon\Setting. 
To return to the default behavior, change the data of the same value to 1, or delete the value.

The application will still be available from the Start Menu, regardless of the value in this registry key.
Note:	The user selection overrides system values in the registry key. 

4.3	Load in disabled state

By default, Intel® Management and Security Status will not load in case all ME technologies are disabled or required component is not 
functioning (referred as ‘disabled state’ in the following sections). 

To enable application load in ‘disabled state’ add a value named AutoStartInDisabled with value 1 to the following registry location HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\PIcon\Setting. 
To return to the default behavior, change the data of the same value to 0, or delete the value.

Note:	The application will still be available from the Start Menu, regardless of the value in this registry key.
Note:	The user selection overrides system values in the registry key. Meaning that in case the user will uncheck the Intel ® Management and Security Status will be available next time I log on to Windows check box the application will not load in ‘disabled state’. 

4.4	Show Notification option

By default, Enable User Notification check box in the Intel® Management and Security Status – General tab is checked. 
To change the default behavior - add a value named ShowNotification with value 0 to the following registry location HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\PIcon\Setting. 
To return to the default behavior, change the data of the same value to 0, or delete the value.

4.5	‘Click here for more details’ link

By default, clicking the ‘Click here for more details’ inside the Learn More dialog will direct the user to the official Intel Corporation - Privacy website.
The link pointed to by the ‘Click here for more details’ text inside the Learn more dialog can be modified, to point to a page of the manufacturer's choice.
To perform this change, add a value named HelpURL with the URL of your choice (e.g. http://www.intel.com/) to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\PIcon\Setting key in the registry.
To return to the default behavior, simply delete the value.
