General information
About the MSE 8350 IP GW blade
The MSE 8350 IP GW blade fits into an MSE 8000 chassis. The IP GW blade is a
voice and video gateway that allows calls to be made between pairs of IP endpoints
that cannot normally connect directly to each other. A second Ethernet port allows
for connections between two completely independent networks of endpoints. A
built-in auto attendant and support for manual operators allow easy connection of
calls where the endpoint cannot directly address the destination endpoint. The
IP GW blade translates call signalling (for example, between SIP and H.323) and can
connect between almost any two endpoints. The IP GW blade can transcode all
media to ensure the call takes place.

LED behavior
Table 1 describes the behavior of the LEDs.
Table 1: IP GW blade LED behavior
LED Color Indicates
Compact Flash Activity Flashing
green
One of:
the IP GW blade is booting
a configuration change has been made
the configuration is being transferred
by FTP
Console Link Green A PC is connected to the console port
Status Green The IP GW blade is operating normally
Alarm Red The IP GW blade is booting or has
developed a fault, for example:
temperature is outside normal limits
battery failure of the internal clock
Refer to the web interface for more
information about the problem (go to
Status > Health)
System Load Green The IP GW blade is processing data. The
LEDs represent the media processing load
of the IP GW blade. The column
numbered 1 represents audio load. The
other columns represent video DSP load.
Media processing load is also displayed in
the web interface: go to
Status > General
to see the percentage load
