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.
Standard Features
•Built-in MoCA 1.1 technology that works with your existing wireless and MoCA networks
•Supports Cable, Verizon FiOS®, U-Verse®, and DirecTV®networks
•Supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections
•Easy to install – requires no new electrical or cable wiring
•Uses existing home coaxial cabling
•Plugs into the existing cable outlet in your home
•Automatically detects and connects to the existing coaxial cable network
•Delivers high-speed Internet access to HDTVs, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and other
Ethernet-enabled electronic devices in your home
•Front panel status LEDs
•Password protection for secure access control

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:
οOver-the-Air (OTA) Television from an antenna
οDirecTV Satellite
οTelco 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 8
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
the Coax In connector on the SBM1400 (see Figure 8).
