About the Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510
The Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510 (MCU MSE 8510) is a technologically
advanced media processor that fits into a Cisco TelePresence MSE 8000 chassis. It
can be used as a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) combining continuous presence
high definition video conferencing and the highest possible voice quality.

Installing the MCU MSE 8510
Step one: Install the MCU MSE 8510 into the MSE 8000 chassis
1 Remove the blade or blanking blade from the slot into which you are going to
install the MCU MSE 8510:
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.
Important: Before installing the MCU MSE 8510 into the MSE 8000,
read the safety information guide for the MSE 8000 chassis at
http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/safety.
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 conference is taking place on a blade).
The MSE 8000 backplane uses high performance data connectors. Do not
remove MCU MSE 8510 blades unless necessary because doing so may
reduce the life of these connectors.
Make sure that you have the correct power requirements and sufficient
power in your PSU; for information on powering the MSE 8000 refer to
the Getting Started Guide on http://www.tandberg.com/support/video-
conferencing-documentation.jsp).
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.

iii Slide out the blade or blanking blade.
2 Open both retaining latches on the front of the MCU MSE 8510. When open, a
retaining latch is at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.
3 Slide the MCU MSE 8510 into the blade slot (as shown in Figure 2) until it
stops.
4 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.
5 Using a No.1 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws in the retaining latches
with a clockwise quarter turn.The power is connected automatically as soon as
you close the latches. The LCD panel displays messages as parts are checked and
eventually you see "Waiting for application to boot" after which the Cisco logo
appears followed by the IP address allocated to the MCU MSE 8510.

Step two: Connect to Ethernet Port A
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet Port A to an Ethernet switch (rather than a
hub, to minimize interference from other devices on the network). The Ethernet
port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing connection.
Ethernet Ports B, C and D may not be supported in the software supplied
with your blade. Do not connect to these ports unless the web interface
allows you to configure them. Do not connect multiple ports to the same
subnet unless instructed to do so by the web interface.

Initial configuration
Step one: Configure Ethernet Port A settings
The default setting for the MCU MSE 8510 Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If
the switch ports to which you connect the MCU MSE 8510 are not also set to auto-
sensing mode, then you need to configure the MCU MSE 8510 Ethernet ports to use
the same speed and duplex mode.
To configure Ethernet Port A, log in to the Supervisor’s web interface and go to
Hardware > Blades. For more information about configuring the port, refer to the
online help accessible from the Supervisor’s web interface.
Step two: Assign an IP address to the MCU MSE 8510
You can use the Supervisor’s web interface to configure the IP addresses of all blades
installed in the MSE 8000. Note that all blades are supplied with DHCP enabled. and
therefore the MCU MSE 8510 will attempt to find an IP address. The LCD panel will
show the IP address allocated. You can either keep this setting or assign static IP
addresses to a blade from the Supervisor’s web interface. To view or configure the IP
address of the MCU MSE 8510, log in to the Supervisor and go to Hardware >
Blades. To access the web interface of the MCU MSE 8510, go to Hardware >
Blades and click the IP address of that blade.
Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same
way. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto-
sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.
To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be
configured as auto-sensing.

Configuring the MCU MSE 8510
Step one: Log in to the MCU MSE 8510
All administration of the MCU MSE 8510 is performed via the web interface.
To log in to the web interface of the MCU MSE 8510 :
1 Log in to the Supervisor’s web interface.
2GotoHardware > Blades and click the IP address of the MCU MSE 8510.
3Click
Log in and enter the user name admin with no password. The Login
information page is displayed.
Step two: Allocate port licences
Port licenses must be allocated to the MSE 8510 from the Supervisor's Port licenses
page. Where the MSE 8510 is supporting high definition conferencing, each port
requires more than one port license. Refer to the online help for assistance.
Step three: Using an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar
(optional)
If you have H.323 endpoints, using an H.323 gatekeeper can make it easier for
participants to call in to a conference. You can configure the MCU MSE 8510 to use
an external gatekeeper or its own built-in gatekeeper. For information about using
the built-in gatekeeper, refer to the online help.
If you have SIP endpoints, using a SIP registrar can make it easier for participants to
call in to a conference.
To configure the MCU MSE 8510 to use an H.323 gatekeeper:
1 In the web interface of the MCU MSE 8510 , go to Settings > H.323.
2Enable
H.323 gatekeeper usage and configure the settings you require, using
the online help for further assistance.
3Click
Apply changes.
Cisco recommends that you change the admin account to use a password
as soon as possible. To do that, click Change password on the Login
information page or go to Users, click the admin link, and provide the
required user information.

Configuring the MCU MSE 8510

To configure the MCU MSE 8510 to use a SIP registrar:
1 In the web interface, go to Settings > SIP.
2 Configure the settings you require, using the online help for further assistance.
3Click
Apply changes.
Step four: Add endpoints (optional)
One way to add participants to a conference that you create is to have the MCU MSE
8510 automatically call them when the conference starts. To do this, you configure
their endpoints on the MCU MSE 8510 . When you set up a conference, you can
choose the endpoints from the Pre-configured participants list. This is easier than
entering each endpoint’s details every time. Participants that are pre-configured for a
conference will automatically be called by the MCU MSE 8510 to join that
conference.
To define pre-configured endpoints:
1 In the web interface of the MCU MSE 8510 , go to Endpoints:
To add a H.323 endpoint, click Add H.323
To add a SIP endpoint, click Add SIP
To add a VNC screen, click Add VNC
2 Configure the endpoint settings you require, using the online help for further
assistance.
3Click
Add endpoint.
Before you configure the MCU MSE 8510 to use, and register
conferences to, a SIP registrar, you must set up the MCU MSE 8510 and
its conferences on that SIP registrar.
