Older homes may only have a simple Station Protector instead of a NID (Network Interface Device). If you only have a Station Protector you must call 611 (Service and Repair) and select telephone repair option (not DSL) and request a proper NID. Do not call BellSouth Internet Services. Station Protectors are not automatically replaced if you get DSL service so customers must request a NID replacement. There is no charge to the customer for the new NID installation and it will be completed by a BellSouth technician. Do not touch or attempt any wiring changes on the station protector. Several common Station Protectors are shown below.
