extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in

a shock or fire hazard.

• Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay

particular attention to cords where they are attached to plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine the point where they

exit from the device.

• Place this device in a location that is close enough to an electrical outlet to accommodate the length of the power cord.

• Place the device to allow for easy access when disconnecting the power cord of the device from the AC wall outlet.

• Do not connect the plug into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with no part of

the blades exposed.

• Place this device on a stable surface.

• Avoid damaging the device with static by touching the coaxial cable when it is attached to the earth-grounded coaxial cable-

TV wall outlet.

• Always first touch the coaxial cable connector on the device when disconnecting or reconnecting the Ethernet cable from the

device or user’s PC.

• It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to

avoid damaging the device by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

• Postpone installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.

• Do not use this product near water: for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or

Introduction

Product Overview

Your new ARRIS SURFboard

®

SBM1000 SMART Video Adapters are high-performance network

adapters which use Multimedia over Coax (MoCA) technology to enable connectivity of

Ethernet-enabled devices in your home through the existing coaxial cable network. MoCA allows

you to share high-definition IP-based multi-media content to multiple Ethernet-enabled devices

such as home computers, Smart TVs, set-top boxes, gaming devices, and multi-room DVRs in

every room of the house serviced by the coaxial cable network.

There are two SMART video adapters included in your adapter kit. The SBM1100, a single

Ethernet port MoCA adapter, enables you to connect an existing cable modem/router/network

device to your coaxial cable network. The SBM1400, a four Ethernet port MoCA adapter, enables

you to connect up to four network devices to your coaxial cable network.

The SBM1000 adapters will coexist with Telco, Cable, and Satellite TV services. Set up is easy. If

you already have available coaxial cable outlets, you will not have to install any new wires or

cables.

This guide provides instructions for installing and setting up the SBM1000 SMART Video

Adapters on your home network to share audio-visual media content in multiple rooms in your

home.

Installing the MoCA

Adapters

This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable(s)

outside of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a

safety hazard and damage the product.

Pre-installation Guidelines

You can quickly and easily set up your home MoCA network with the SBM1000 adapters. No

additional wiring or hardware installation is required before starting this installation.

• For homes with a pre-existing MoCA network, you can install one or more SBM1000 adapters

to extend your network.

• For homes with no pre-existing MoCA network or Ethernet-enabled devices, two or more

SBM1000 adapters are needed to create a MoCA network.

Note: If there is no pre-existing MoCA network or MoCA-enabled set-top boxes in your

home, you will need a minimum of two MoCA adapters to establish a MoCA Network.

• The rooms that you are planning to be part of the home network must have an existing

coaxial network connection. If the coaxial connection can receive broadcast television service,

make sure that it is NOT receiving more than one of the following:

ο Over-the-Air (OTA) Television from an antenna

ο DirecTV Satellite

ο Telco or Cable TV on the same coaxial cable

Getting Started

The following is a list of the general steps that you will perform to create your home MoCA

network using the SBM1000 SMART Video Adapters:

Note: All the recommended components you will need for this installation are included in the

SBM1000 adapter box and are referenced as “included” throughout the installation

procedures.

• Choose your type of network service provider from the Network Service Providers List.

• Determine the home network installation scenario that best fits your current home network

configuration See Home Network Installation Scenarios for the list of available network

installation options.

• Select the rooms that you want included in your home MoCA network. To qualify, each room

must have an existing coaxial connection.

Installing the MoCA Adapters

SBM1000 SMART Video Adapter Kit • User Guide

590631-001-a

If there is no available cable connection in the room, then you must take the appropriate steps

to install a cable connection. This may include reconfiguring the internal home coaxial wiring or

adding external devices and cabling.

• Install the first MoCA adapter and your Smart TV, set-top box, gaming devices, or other

Ethernet-enabled devices in the first qualified room.

• Install the second MoCA adapter and yourcomputer, cable modem/router, gateway, or other

network access device in the second qualified room.

• Check the connections on both MoCA adapters. Make sure the Coax LEDs on both adapters

light SOLID within five minutes. This indicates that a coaxial link was established between the

two adapters.

Note: If the Coax LEDs do not light SOLID within five minutes, you will have to disconnect the

power adapter on both MoCA adapters and then reconnect them. If the Coax LEDs still fail to

light SOLID, see Troubleshooting Solutions for more information.

• Set up Internet access on both MoCA adapters - must have access to a computer on the

network.

1.1 Installing for Cable with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Figure 7 – Cable Installation with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Follow these steps to set up the SBM1000 MoCA adapters in your home network, if you are

receiving your Internet service through a cable modem and router:

1. Identify the rooms that you want to add to your home network and make sure there is a

coaxial cable connection in each room.

2. Locate the cable wall outlet (or RF splitter) and electrical wall outlet in the first room (see

Room 1 in Figure 7).

Note: Although the SBM1100 and SBM1400 adapters are interchangeable, the SBM1400 is

typically located where more than one Ethernet connection is required (see Room 1 in Figure

7).

3. Check if the coaxial cable is connected to an RF splitter. If it is not, then disconnect the cable

from your Smart TV or set-top box and connect it to the IN connector on one of the RF

splitters (included).

4. Connect one of the coaxial cables (included) to the OUT connector on the RF splitter and

your Smart TV or set-top box (see Figure 8).

Note: You can use either OUT connector on the RF splitter (included) for this installation.

5. Connect a second coaxial cable (included) to the other OUT connector on the RF splitter and
