Introduction

Congratulations on your new Motorola® SBV5121 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) cable modem! It provides high-speed access to the Internet and other online services and connections for up to two telephone lines.

SBV5121 Cable Modem

Your VoIP cable modem transmits and receives data much faster than traditional dial-up or DSL (digital subscriber line) modems. It lets you enjoy surfing the Web without the long wait. Because many network and other factors can affect performance, the actual speed will vary.

Unlike a dial-up modem, your SBV5121 VoIP cable modem is always online. Just open your browser and surf!

You can use your high-speed, upgradeable VoIP cable modem to connect one or more computers in your home or business to the Internet. You can connect:

•

•

•

•

A single computer equipped with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port directly to the USB port on the SBV5121 VoIP cable modem

A single computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter directly to the Ethernet port on the SBV5121 VoIP cable modem

Two computers, one to the USB port and one to the Ethernet port

Up to 31 computers to a single SBV5121 VoIP cable modem using an Ethernet hub, as shown in “Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 33

For easiest set-up, use the Installation Assistant on the SBV5121 VoIP Cable Modem CD-ROM.

SBV5121 VoIP Telephone Service

The SBV5121 also provides telephone service through your cable connection with the same features as your traditional phone service. You can connect up to two standard telephone lines using your SBV5121 VoIP cable modem, supporting:

•

•

•

•

Local and long-distance calling

Standard features like call hold and mute, caller ID, speed dial, call forwarding, call waiting, call return, three-way calling, and voice mail

Telephone modem and fax support

Software upgrades over the network to provide new or improved services

Caution

Use only a standard telephone. Digital phones used in many businesses that connect to a PBX (private branch exchange) do not operate with the SBV5121.

An external backup power supply may be connected to your SBV5121 that provides standby power for your VoIP telephone service if AC power is lost. Please contact your service provider for additional information about the Motorola PB1000 Battery Backup Power Supply.
