Home networking enables you to access and move information between two or more computers in your home or

business. Your home network connects to the cable TV system and enables you to connect to the Internet or other

networks connected to the Internet. The SBG900 acts as the

central connection point

between your computers

and the Internet. It directs (routes) computer data to the Internet and between your computers. A SURFboard

cable modem in the SBG passes information between your home network computers and the Internet. An

SBG900:

• Combines a SURFboard cable modem, IEEE 802.11g wireless access point, Ethernet 10/100Base-T

connection, and an advanced firewall into one compact product

• Eliminates the need for four or five separate products, enabling you to maximize the potential of your existing

resources

• Enables you to create a custom network sharing a single broadband connection, files, and other peripherals

like scanners, with or without wires

• Offers enhanced network security for wired and wireless users

• Provides easy setup

• Enables cable operators to add future value-added services

This product is subject to change. Not all features described in this guide are available on all SBG900 models.

Easy Setup

It is much easier to configure a local area network (LAN) using an SBG900 than it is using typical networking

equipment:

• The Installation Assistant application on the

Motorola SURFboard Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

CD-ROM

enables easy connection to the cable network.

• For basic operation, most default settings require no modification.

• The Setup Program provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy configuration of necessary wireless,

Ethernet, router, DHCP, and security settings. For a list of issues, see “Basic Configuration”.

Network Connection Types

The SBG900 provides different network connection types for your computers to exchange data. The connection

between your computers and the SBG900 may be with a wireless or a wired connection or a combination of the

two. Your network can use one or any combination of all the following network connections:

• Ethernet local area network (LAN)

• Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11g that also supports IEEE 802.11b devices)

• Universal Serial Bus (USB)
