How can vPro be supported by a Dock?

[jamesbondsss]

Hello, I am James from Chicago. I am facing some trouble.

When we are an original design manufacturer (ODM) of Docks, including Thunderbolt and USB-C Docks, some of our commercial customers have recently requested that the next generation of Docking Stations embrace the Intel vPro platform. Could you please inform us of the requirements for our Dock to reach this objective?

Are there any limitations on DMC/PD/Hub/Ethernet IC selection?

2. Any certification or support for firmware/software required by Intel

Is there a particular Intel policy that supports this vPro Dock?

Confined to particular customers

Thank you and best wishes,
