  • Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) Out of Band Management uses this port to manage AMT-enabled clients.
  • Third-party tools such as MeshCommander and MeshCentral connect to Intel AMT on 16992/16993.
  • Open-source utilities like amttool/amtterm and wsmancli also manage AMT over 16992 for tasks like power control and inventory.
