conventions used in this manual:
Bold type Indicates text that you must type exactly as it appears or indicates a default value
SMALL CAPS Denotes silk screening on the equipment, typically representing front- and rear-panel controls
and input/output (I/O) connections, and LEDs
Italic type Denotes a displayed variable, a variable that you must type, or is used for emphasis

The SURFboard cable modem delivers digital multimedia content in a two-way transmission
system. It provides access to a cable data network, which provides access to the Internet and
World Wide Web.
The SURFboard cable modem is authorized by a cable modem terminations system (CMTS) for
use on the network and automatically configures itself with parameters received from the
CMTS or headend. When the SURFboard cable modem is powered on, it:
! Scans the frequency spectrum to locate the data frequency and automatically locks on to the
channel.
! Searches for a message containing the upstream parameters such as frequency, modulation,
symbol rate, and forward error correction (FEC) format.
! Transmits a message to the CMTS requesting additional information enabling network
connection.
! Establishes Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
! Receives a configuration file using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This file
contains additional parameters required by the SURFboard cable modem.
! Registers with the CMTS and is authorized to use the network.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the SURFboard cable modem data path:

The SURFboard cable modem supports 64 QAM and 256 QAM signals that are necessary for the
DOCSIS/Euro-DOCSIS data network. This network carries IP data in standard MPEG-2
packets. The RF downstream receives data at rates up to 38 Mbps (55 Mbps for Euro-DOCSIS)
and the RF upstream transfers data rates of up to 10 Mbps.
The SURFboard cable modem provides an HTML user interface to:
! Monitor the cable modem and data signals
! Troubleshoot network connections

outlet. This turns the SURFboard cable modem on. The cable modem does not need to be
unplugged when not in use.
5 Check that the LEDs on the front of the cable modem cycle through this sequence:
# POWER flashes during the self-test and changes to solid green when the self-test is
successfully complete.
# RECEIVE flashes while scanning for the receive channel and changes to solid green when
the receive channel is locked.
# SEND flashes while scanning for the send channel and changes to solid green when the
send channel is locked.
# ONLINE flashes while the cable modem downloads configuration data and changes to
solid green when the download is complete. Configuration data includes the DHCP
server IP address, configuration, and time and date stamp.

This section provides instructions for using the SURFboard cable modem HTML user interface.
The windows — Help, Startup, Signal, Addresses, Configuration, and Logs — provide
configuration and troubleshooting information; such as MAC and IP addresses and frequency
and Event logs.
The IP address for this user interface is 192.168.100.1. To use the HTML user interface:
1 Connect a cable from the laptop or PC Ethernet port to the cable modem Ethernet port on
the SURFboard cable modem rear panel.
2 Turn on the PC and verify that the SURFboard cable modem is plugged in.
3 Open the browser.
4 Type http://192.168.100.1/mainhelp.html. A Configuration Manager Help window is
displayed as illustrated in Figure 4-1:
Figure 4-1
Configuration Manager Help window
This window provides an overview of the other windows and a standard troubleshooting
checklist. From this window you can select any of the other windows by clicking on the
buttons on the bottom toolbar.
5 Click Status at the bottom of the window, and the Configuration Manager Startup window
is displayed.

Configuration Manager Startup window
This window provides a power-up status for each item on the Task list. The last Status
entry should be Operational as illustrated in Figure 4-2.

This is a sample Events Log that is generated during startup and during operation. Refer to
Appendix B, “Event Log Messages,” for the format and code definitions.
This section provides information to assist you in quickly detecting, isolating, and resolving
error conditions that might occur when using the SURFboard cable modem.
If you need assistance while working with the SURFboard cable modem cable modem, contact
the Motorola Technical Response Center (TRC):
• Inside the U.S.: 1-888-944-HELP (1-888-944-4357)
• Outside the U.S.: 215-323-0044

Customer Support, then click Web Support.
The TRC is open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday and 10 AM to
6 PM Eastern Time, Saturday. When the TRC is closed, emergency service only is available on a
call-back basis. Web Support offers a searchable solutions database, technical documentation,
and low priority issue creation/tracking 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Fill out the Troubleshooting Checklist (Table 5-2) before calling TRC.
If the SURFboard cable modem was off, it may require up to 10 minutes to scan for the
upstream and downstream channels again. Table 5-1 lists fault indications, their symptoms,
and possible resolutions:
