Cabling for Multiple Users
The SURFboard VoIP cable modem supports several multiple user configurations. Along
with an optional hub or router, it can serve as an Internet gateway for up to
31 computers.
Not all service providers support multiple user service. For information about multiple
user service, contact your cable service provider.
Ethernet and USB
You can connect the USB port on one computer and the Ethernet port on another
computer directly to the VoIP cable modem, as shown at top left.
Caution
You can connect a single computer to the USB port and from one to 30 remaining users
to an Ethernet hub, as shown at bottom left. You cannot connect more than
one computer to the VoIP cable modem through the USB port.
Do not connect both the Ethernet and USB cables to the same computer.
