3 The equipment you’ll see
BT digital private circuits terminate at your premises on a network
terminating unit (NTU) which is provided within the rental price.
Any on-site wiring and equipment beyond the NTU is your responsibility
and maintained by the relevant contractor. This may be BT or an
independent supplier.
One of our engineers will connect the NTU to the BT network. If you
alter the line connections in any way, you will set off remote alarms
within the BT network and your service may be affected
Single NTU
If you’ve ordered a single circuit, the unit is contained in a blue
rectangular box. The lamps on the front of the unit, in conjunction with
the liquid crystal display (LCD), show the operating state of the circuit.

Multiple NTU
If you’ve ordered a number of lines, or a network of services, you will
need a multiple NTU. This normally consists of a series of NTUs in
‘card’ form. Each ‘card’ will be shelf mounted in a stacking system.
