Setting the Frequency Using StormWatch
StormWatch™, the SURFboard Cable Modem Diagnostic Suite, is a cable modem utility that is
available from Motorola. It runs from a CD-ROM and does not require installation on a hard
drive. It can be used when installing the SURFboard cable modem to set the frequency and save
startup time.
To set the frequency:
1 For the SURFboard cable modem, ensure that a laptop or PC is connected to the SURFboard
cable modem rear-panel Ethernet port.
2 Turn on the PC and ensure that the SURFboard cable modem is booted up.
3 Connect StormWatch to 192.168.100.1.
4 Click Configure and then click Channel Parameter.
5 Type the desired frequency in Hertz; for example, 411 MHz = 411000000, in the
Downstream Frequency field.
6 Type the upstream channel ID in the Upstream Channel ID field. (Not required)
7 Select a frequency plan type in the Frequency Plan field.
8 Click Save and then restart the cable modem.
