The SMC EZ Connect cable modem (SMC8004CM) is a stan-
dards based cable modem that provides high-speed Internet
access to both the residential and the small office and home
office (SOHO) user. This new cable modem operates on
two-way cable systems enabling higher performance and
taking advantage of DOCSIS 2.0 technology with asymmetric
connections of up to 38 Mbps downstream and 30 Mbps
upstream.To provide this high-speed connection, this cable
modem functions as a bridge between the cable network
and the PC using either the standard Ethernet or USB inter-
face providing maxium flexibility and use.
The SMC EZ Connect cable modem is CableLabs certified for
DOCSIS 1.1, and software upgradeable to DOCSIS 2.0 thus
ensuring compatibility with a majority of the cable Internet
providers. It utilizes the Texas Instruments TNETC4401
chipset, which has improved raw bridging performance up
to 54Kpps, as well as filtered bridging performance of more
than 27Kpps with one filter. It also includes Texas
Instruments
TurboDOX ( TM) technology, which increases bandwidth effi-
ciency by 3x to 13x for TCP applications.
Installation is so quick and easy it can even be done by end-
users.The USB port allows plug-and-play connectivity with-
out opening the computer or performing complex configu-
rations. Front-panel LEDs clearly display both cable and net-
work status. A browser-based utility allows convenient
viewing of key network statistics. DHCP and TFTP clients
allow the modem to automatically get its IP address and
configuration data from network servers, without the inter-
vention of either the user or installer.
Advanced features include IP address filtering to prevent
unwanted traffic on the network and SNMP agents that per-
mit remote configuration and monitoring from a manage-
ment station equipped with an SNMP server. DES data
encryption ensures complete privacy for transmitted infor-
mation over cable media.
Combine these features with SMC's service and support and
you have the ideal solution for broadband
access.
