!!! note "Note From the Team"

Hey everyone,
Greetings everyone,

While Arizona experiences a welcome cooldown, the Open AMT Cloud Toolkit team is cranking up the heat with our latest release! In this month's update, we're thrilled to announce two exciting new features added to RPC-Go. It's now more versatile than ever with ACM activation and Wifi configuration capabilities.

We're in the depths of summer here in Arizona, so nothing to do but stay inside and write code! This month we continue to expand our RPC-Go activation and deactivation features and we add a new optional service to assist with configuration. Check out the video above where Bryan talks about these new features.
With these enhancements, RPC-Go empowers users to configure AMT into either ACM or CCM without the necessity of engaging with a cloud service. This newfound autonomy provides our customers with a level of flexibility that was previously unattainable. Furthermore, RPC-Go now extends its support to configure any type of wifi profile that AMT supports locally.

The Open AMT Cloud Toolkit team has moved to [Discord](https://discord.gg/yrcMp2kDWh). Come join the discussion!
We're excited about these advancements and look forward to hearing your feedback.

*Best wishes,*
*The Open AMT Cloud Toolkit Team*


## What's New?

:material-new-box: **New Feature: Local Activation and Deactivation**
:material-new-box: **New Feature: Local ACM Activation**

With this release, you can now activate AMT into CCM just using RPC using the `-local` flag. We've also expanded our deactivation feature to include devices activated in ACM. RPC can now deactivate both CCM and ACM configured devices without needing RPS.
With this release, you can now activate AMT into ACM just using RPC using the `-local` flag. Similar to local CCM activation, local ACM activation will require secrets to be passed to the AMT device, so users of this feature will need to have high trust in the local OS. View full command line options in [Activate Device Locally](https://open-amt-cloud-toolkit.github.io/docs/2.14/Reference/RPC/commandsRPC/#activate-the-device-locally)

Local activate command:
``` bash
rpc activate -local -password NewAMTPassword
rpc activate -local -acm -amtPassword NewAMTPassword -provisioningCert "{BASE64_PROV_CERT}" -provivisioningCertPwd certPassword
```

Local deactivate command:
``` bash
rpc deactivate -local
```

:material-new-box: **New Feature: Move to ACM**

In addition to the activation flows above, we've also added the ability to move a device from CCM to ACM without having to first deactivate AMT. This feature is beneficial when devices shift from a CCM-only network to one that can also handle ACM activation. RPS is required for this flow.
:material-new-box: **New Feature: Local Wifi Configuration**

:material-fast-forward: **New Preview Feature: Centralized Configuration**
In this release, we have added the ability to configure any wifi profile, not just 802.1x wifi profiles. Users will also be able to configure multiple wifi profiles at the same time by providing the details either via the command line or by passing in a config file. View full command line options in [`addwifisettings` RPC Configure command](https://open-amt-cloud-toolkit.github.io/docs/2.14/Reference/RPC/commandsRPC/#addwifisettings)

We added an optional service called [Hashicorp Consul](https://www.consul.io/) for centralized configuration in scale deployments. When MPS or RPS are first deployed with Consul enabled, they'll check for a configuration in Consul. If found, that configuration will be used to start the service. If not found, the service will use the local configuration file and save it to Consul for future use by subsequent services. [Find more info about enabling Consul in the Centralized Configuration docs.](./Deployment/centralizedConfiguration.md)

This is currently a preview feature so expect additional changes as we receive feedback.
Local wifi configuration command:
```bash
rpc configure addwifisettings -config config.yaml -secrets secrets.yaml
```
