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.

Installing the IP GW blade  
Before installing the IP GW blade into the MSE 8000, read the Safety  
Information guide that accompanied the MSE 8000 chassis.  
Although blades are hot-swappable parts, you must only remove one  
blade at any time. Remove the power from the MSE 8000, if you need to  
remove more than one blade at a time.  
!
Before hot-swapping a blade, shut down the blade using the web interface.  
Do not shut down a blade during a software upgrade or if the blade is  
processing (for example if a call is taking place).  
!
For information about powering the MSE 8000, refer to the Getting Started Guide  
that accompanied the chassis.  
Step one: Install the IP GW blade into the MSE 8000 chassis  
You must install either a blade or a blanking blade in each of the ten  
positions in the chassis.  
!
!
The Supervisor blade must be installed into slot 1 of the MSE 8000  
chassis.  
1
Remove the blade or blanking blade from the slot into which you are going to  
install the IP GW blade:  
i
Using a No.1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws in the retaining latches  
with an anti-clockwise quarter turn.  
ii Open both retaining latches on the front of the blade or blanking blade.  
When open, a retaining latch is at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of  
the blade.  
iii Slide out the blade or blanking blade.  
2
Open both retaining latches on the front of the IP GW blade. When open, a  
retaining latch is at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.  
3
4
Slide the IP GW blade into the blade slot (as shown in Figure 2) until it stops.  
Simultaneously close both retaining latches on the blade (thereby engaging the  
connectors at the rear of the blade) to secure in the chassis as shown in Figure 3.
