Network interface device. Not to be confused with Network interface controller. In telecommunications, a network interface device (NID; also known by several other names) is a device that serves as the demarcation point between the carrier's local loop and the customer's premises wiring.
The NID is important because it contains something called a demarcation jack that is on the part of the line outside your home (the location of this jack is the demarcation point for which Bell is responsible). You can use this jack to test your phone line.
