Installation and Configuration Overview
To install and configure your VoIP cable modem for a single PC running Microsoft Windows, we recommend using
the Installation Assistant. You can start the Installation Assistant from the Main Menu on the
SURFboard VoIP
Cable Modem
CD-ROM. In most cases, the Installation Assistant automatically configures your VoIP cable modem.
Otherwise, to install and configure your VoIP cable modem:
1
Install the cables as described for your situation:
•
“Cabling and Startup for a Single User”
on page 7
•
“Cabling for Multiple Users”
on page 32
2
If you are using the
USB
port
only
, go to
“Setting Up a USB Driver”
on page 9.
Ethernet users can skip this
step.
3
Configure
TCP/IP
and verify the
IP address
for your computer as described for your situation:
•
“Configuring TCP/IP”
on page 19
•
Refer to your Macintosh or UNIX user manual for information regarding TCP/IP and IP Address
configuration.
Cabling and Startup for a Single User
Allow some time (5 to 30 minutes) to power up the first time because the SURFboard VoIP cable modem must find
and lock on the appropriate channels for communications.
1
Be sure your computer is on and the VoIP cable modem is unplugged.
2
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable
to the CABLE connector on the VoIP cable modem.
Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them.
3
Insert the
SURFboard VoIP Cable Modem
CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
4
Connect one end of the telephone wire to the dial-up modem connector on the VoIP cable modem. Connect
the other end to a telephone jack.
