FAQs
Q
What is DOCSIS?
A
DOCSIS is the industry standard for cable Internet access. This standard is intended to ensure that all DOCSIS cable modems interface with
all DOCSIS-compliant cable systems. Motorola’s SB4101 cable modem is DOCSIS compliant.
Q
If I have a cable modem, can I still use my old 28.8 Kbps or 56 Kbps modem?
A
Sure! Although once you’ve experienced the speed of cable Internet access, you’ll never again want to wait for traditional dial up services.
Q
I have more than one computer. Do I need more than one computer modem?
A
No, not if your computers are connected via a network. The SB4101 is capable of supporting current Internet Connection Sharing technolo-
gies. Internet Connection Sharing software enables the user to connect more PCs to the Internet by using the PC containing the SB4101 as a
gateway.
Q
Do I need to change my Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
A
Currently most Internet Service Providers are not set up to handle cable Internet access. Check with your local cable company for your spe-
cific information.
