Wiring the Network Interface Device (NID)

To install or repair your inside wiring at the Network Interface Device:

1. Unscrew the Network Interface cover at the Customer Access point with a screwdriver and open. (see the Network Interface Image.)
2. Disconnect your inside wiring from Service Electric Telephone Company's network by removing the modular plug from the jack.
3. If you are installing new wiring, punch a hole through the grommet and pass the wiring through the hole. Route the wire up and behind the hinge pin as shown below.
4. Loosen the terminal screws on the customer wiring bridge one full turn.
5. Strip off 3/4" of insulation from the wires you are using and connect them to the colored terminals (see the list below.), wrapping each wire clockwise between the washers on the screws. Tighten the screws securely, then tuck the excess wire in the wiring trough.
6. Re-insert the modular plug into the jack. Close the cover and screw the fastener down until the cover is snug and tight.
