Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide Step 1: Configure Existing IT Infrastructure Step 1a: Choose DHCP or Static IP Addressing for Client Systems. If your IT environment requires the use of static IP addresses, be aware that the Intel AMT client must then have two IP addresses: one for the host OS and one for the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME). Use of static IP addresses also requires that the host OS and Intel ME on the client system have sepa
