[Intel VPRO Review: 3rd] Remote "PC has freezed!"

Use VPRO beyond the router!

　I have already posted the Intel VPRO platform verification twice.

　The basics of the operation have already been introduced, such as "You can turn on the PC by remote control" and "you can operate not only after OS startup but also on the BIOS screen" has already been introduced. want to see.

　The scenario is practical, such as "Calling a forced reset after the OS freezes over the Internet. Call the BIOS of the PC."It is mainly useful for improving support, "Improving security, management and support functions based on remote control," which is the strength of VPRO.

　There are two types of "router crossing" that can be used by VPRO: how to use Intel Manageability Commander (Intel MC) via VPN and Intel Ema (Intel Ema).It is a method of using VPN that can be verified with two units (PCs with VPRO -equipped PCs).If you use Intel Ema, you need to launch a server separately, so I would like to introduce it in the future.

　In addition, this time, as an extra, we also introduce "Setting method for using VPro with Wi-Fi".In terms of "verification", wired LAN is more certain, but in many cases you want to use Wi-Fi for actual operation.The settings on Wi-Fi require some tricks, so if you want to use it with Wi-Fi, please refer to it.

　Well, first of all, VPN connection.

　When controlling a PC equipped with a VPRO with Intel MC, the command should be delivered to the port required for control, so it seems that it can be used unless it is a special VPN that blocks a specific port.

　This time, I used "VPN PLUS", which is equipped with Synology "MR2200AC", a router operated at my home.The controlled PC is connected to the LAN in my home via this VPN Plus.

　In addition, due to the personality of the verification, the control PC was connected to the Internet via a mobile router (4G LTE connection) because I wanted to test two PCs side by side.The connection is "Control PC- (Wi -Fi) -Mobile Router -Internet -MR2200AC (VPN Plus) - (1000Base -T) -VPRO -equipped PC".For remote desktops, 4G LTE is not a fast line, and there is also a decrease in VPN.When actually operating, you should focus on network infrastructure such as wired LAN and optical lines as fast as possible.
