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:

1Install the cables as described for your situation:

•“Cabling and Startup for a Single User” on page 7

•“Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 32

2If you are using the USB port only, go to “Setting Up a USB Driver” on page 9. Ethernet users can skip this step.

3Configure 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.

Always connect coaxial cable to the wall outlet first.
