FCC STATEMENTS
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordanc e with the instr uc ti ons , may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separati on bet ween t he de vice an d recei v er.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could

This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable
outside of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a
safety hazard and damage the product.
Connect the Gateway to Your Computer
Before installing the gateway:
• Check with your service provider to ensure broadband cable access is available in your area.
To set up a wireless network, you will need a high-speed Internet connection provided by an
Internet service provider.
• Choose a central location in your home where your computer and gateway are preferably
near existing cable and electrical wall outlets.
Note: The following steps you through the wired Ethernet connection process so that you can
quickly confirm that the gateway was properly connected and you can access the Internet.
Figure 3 – SBG6782-AC Connection Diagram
1. Check that a coaxial cable is already connected to a cable wall outlet or RF splitter (optional).
2. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the Cable connector on the gateway.
Use your hand to tighten the connectors, to avoid damaging them.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable to any available Ethernet port on your gateway and to the
Ethernet port on your computer.
Repeat for each additional computer or Ethernet–enabled device that you want connected on
your wired network.
4. Connect the power cord to the Power port on the gateway and then plug it into an electrical
wall outlet.
Note: This automatically powers ON your gateway.
Test the Gateway Connections
Although your computer may already be configured to automatically access the Internet, you
should still perform the following gateway connectivity test to verify that the devices were
connected properly.
1. Power ON your computer and then log on.
2. Check that the Power, Receive, Send, and Online front panel LEDs on the gateway first
FLASH in sequential order and then light SOLID. See Front Panel for additional LED status
information.
If an LED did not light SOLID, call the ARRIS SURFboard Technical Support Center at 1-877-
466-8646 for assistance.
3. Contact your service provider to activate (provision) your gateway.
Note: Your service provider may allow for automatic activation which will automatically
launch a special website when you open a web browser.
4. Once your gateway is provisioned, open a web browser on your computer, such as Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari.
