Preparation

The NID-01V does not require an earth ground.
Only use 22AWG, 24AWG or 26AWG solid conductor type for the installation.
An electrical box depth of 1-7/8, or greater, is required for this installation.

Instructions

Assemble two (2) Datajack connectors with the wire

The NID-01V has three connectors:

• Modem – customer’s xDSL modem.

• Line – the incoming line.

• Phone - customer’s telephone

Each IDC connector can accommodate only one pair
of wires.

If the wire has been previously used, cut-off
approximately ½” from the end, before inserting into
the IDC connectors on the NID-01V.

With approximately 3” of wire slack, connect the
incoming line wire to the Line Port on the NID-01V.

Connect the two wired datajack connectors to the
Modem and Phone ports.

Carefully observe the proper orientation of the Tip­Ring leads. Do not remove the insulation from the
wire and maintain the wire twist. Insert each pair
of wires into the appropriate IDC connector about ½”.

Press the IDC closed, until the IDC latches lock into
place. It will take some force to close the IDC, with
the thicker wire gauges taking more effort.

Attach the datajacks to the faceplate.
Carefully secure the NID-01V to the inside of the

electrical box. Ensure none of the wires are kinked or
crushed.

Fasten the faceplate to the electrical box, using the
screws included with the faceplate.

Affix the included identification label, using the clear
plastic shield provided with the faceplate.

Testing

To test the NID-01V for correct operation, connect a phone to the phone datajack and lift the handset - you shoul d
hear dial tone.

The modem status light should be illuminated indicating xDSL service. You may have to refer to the xDSL modem
user’s guide to correctly interpret the meaning of its status indicators.

Warranty

The NID-01V is covered by a 3-year warranty under normal operating conditions. Defective units should be returned to
Comtest Networks where they will be replaced or repaired and returned to the user. The NID-01V contains no user
serviceable parts. Opening the plastic housing voids the warranty and may expose the user to hazardo us voltages.
