== About the Media Server Administrator (MSA) Interface for the Hardware Media Server ==

The Media Server Administrator (MSA) interface for the Hardware Media Server is a web interface that allows you to configure general Hardware Media Server settings, monitor operations, edit services, manage media processor units, and perform maintenance. You can use your web browser from any remote PC station to monitor and to configure the Hardware Media Server.

The MSA interface for the Hardware Media Server is different depending on if you use a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 3515 Media Server or a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 3545 Media Server.

== Signing In to the Media Server Administrator for the Hardware Media Server ==

===== Restrictions =====
* If you try to sign in as an administrator and someone else is already signed in as an administrator, the MSA for the Hardware Media Server signs you in as a read-only user. The system displays the words ''Read Only'' at the top of the window and displays a pop-up message with the IP address of the administrator who is already signed in. If you are a read-only user, you cannot edit any of the settings for the MSA for the Hardware Media Server.
* You must sign out when you are finished working in the MSA for the Hardware Media Server. If you close your web browser or shut down the machine without actually signing out, then the system keeps you signed in. The system automatically signs you out after five minutes.

===== Procedure =====

# Sign in to the Media Server Administration for the Hardware Media Server.
# Select '''Resource Management > MCU''' from the left panel.
# Select the name of an Audio Blade.
# Select '''Go To MCU...'''.
#: The system displays the sign-in page for the MSA interface for the Hardware Media Server.
# Enter the user name and password for the administrator. The default global user name is ''admin'' and the default password is <null>.
# Select '''Go'''.
#: The system displays the MSA interface for the Hardware Media Server.

!Element
!Description
|-
|

Information section
|

This section provides the following information about the Hardware Media Server chassis hardware:
* Serial number-Displays the serial number of the chassis.
* Part number-Displays the part number of the chassis.
* System configuration-Identifies the hardware configuration that the chassis uses.
|-
|

Temperature Thresholds section
|

In this section, you can set the following temperature values that the chassis uses to trigger changes in the ambient temperature status:
* Low-Enter the temperature value at which the Hardware Media Server turns off the chassis temperature alarm. The value is measured in Celsius.
* High-Enter the temperature value above which the Hardware Media Server turns on the chassis temperature alarm. The value is measured in Celsius.
|-
|

Status section
|

These LEDs provide information about chassis operation.
* Power-This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when one power supply fails.
* Alarm-This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when a system failure occurs.
* Fans-This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when one or more fans fail and displays a message indicating which fan has failed.
* Temperature-This LED lights green for normal operation. It is red when the chassis determines that the ambient temperature rises above the high temperature threshold. The LED blinks when the falling ambient temperature crosses the high threshold to within five degrees of the high threshold.
|}

== Setting Chassis Temperature Thresholds for the Hardware Media Server ==

===== Procedure =====

# Launch the MSA interface for the Hardware Media Server for the module installed in the top slot of the chassis.
# Select '''System''' on the sidebar.
# Enter a Celsius value in the High field for the critical temperature threshold.
#: '''Tip: ''' We recommend that you set the critical threshold to 40 degrees Celsius.
#: The alarm and temperature LEDs both light red when the operating temperature inside the chassis rises above this value.
# Enter a Celsius value in the Low field for the safe temperature threshold.
#: '''Tip: ''' We recommend that you set the safe threshold to 35 degrees Celsius.
#: The alarm and temperature LEDs both light green when the operating temperature inside the chassis falls below this value.
#: The alarm and temperature LEDs both light red when the difference between the temperatures recorded by the high and low sensors is greater than five degrees Celsius, and both temperatures are above the value set in the High field.
#: The alarm and temperature LEDs both blink green when the difference between the temperatures recorded by the High and Low sensors is greater than five degrees Celsius, and at least one of the temperatures is below the value set in the High field.
# Select '''Upload''' to save your changes.
# Select '''Refresh''' to refresh the information.

== Refreshing the System Section for the Hardware Media Server ==

You can refresh the information that appears in the System section to provide the latest Audio Blade status.

===== Procedure =====

# Launch the MSA interface for the Hardware Media Server for the module installed in the top slot of the chassis.
