Introduction

Congratulations on your new Motorola SBV5222 SURFboard Digital Voice Cable Modem! The SBV5222 provides high-speed access to the Internet and other online services, and VoIP connections for up to two telephone lines.

SBV5222 Digital Voice Modem

Your SBV5222 digital voice 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 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem is always online. Just open your browser and surf!

You can use your high-speed, upgradeable digital voice 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 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem

A single computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter directly to the Ethernet port on the SURFboard Digital Voice Modem

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

Up to 31 computers to a single SURFboard Digital Voice Modem using an Ethernet hub, as shown in “Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 27

For easiest set-up, use the Installation Assistant on the SURFboard Voice Modem CD-ROM.

SBV5222 VoIP Telephone Service

The SBV5222 also provides telephone service through your cable connection with the same features as your traditional phone service, including standby power with an integrated battery backup in the event that you lose AC power. You can connect up to two standard telephone lines using your SURFboard Digital Voice Modem, supporting:

Local and long-distance calling

Standby power support for a minimum of eight hours standby or five hours talk time

Standard telephone feature support. For a full listing, see “Telephone Features Supported by the SBV5222” on page 2.

Telephone modem and fax support

HTML diagnostic page

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 SBV5222.
