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.
