Installation and Configuration

To install and configure your Motorola 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 SBV5220 VoIP Cable Modem CD-ROM. In most cases, the Installation Assistant automatically configures your Motorola VoIP cable modem.

Otherwise, to install and configure your Motorola VoIP cable modem:

1Connect the cables as described for your situation:

“Cabling and Startup for a Single User” on page 10

“Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 35

2If you are using the USB port only, go to “Setting Up a USB Driver” on page 12. 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 22.

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 Motorola VoIP cable modem must find and lock on the appropriate channels for communications.

Always connect coaxial cable to the wall outlet first.

To cable outlet (step 2)

1Be sure your computer is on and the Motorola VoIP cable modem is unplugged.

2Connect 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 Motorola VoIP cable modem. Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them.
