They are intended to ensure that all compliant VoIP cable modems interface with all compliant cable systems. Your Motorola SURFboard VoIP cable modem is DOCSIS or Euro-DOCSIS certified.

QWhat is PacketCable?

APacketCable is an evolving set of interface specifications for delivering advanced, real-time multimedia services over cable; for example VoIP, multimedia conferencing, and interactive gaming.

QIf I have a VoIP cable modem, can I still use my old 28.8 Kbps or 56 Kbps modem?

ANo, not if your computers are connected on a network. The SURFboard VoIP cable modem supports current Internet connection sharing technologies to enable you to connect up to 31 computers to the Internet using a single VoIP cable modem.

QDo I need to change my Internet service provider (ISP)?
