Installation and Configuration
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
Otherwise, to install and configure your VoIP cable modem:
1Connect the cables as described for your situation:
•“Cabling and Startup for a Single User” on page 8
•“Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 33
2If you are using the USB port only, go to “Setting Up a USB Driver” on page 10. Ethernet users can skip this step.
3Configure TCP/IP and verify the IP address for your computer as described for your situation:
•For Windows computers, see “Configuring TCP/IP” on page 20
•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.
