==Common practice==
The NIU belongs to the [[PSTN]] provider. Together with the [[Channel service unit |CSU]] it represents the PSTN '''demarc''' or handoff point. The CSU is the first piece of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). If the NIU fails the PSTN provider is responsible for repairs; if the CSU fails the customer is responsible for repairs.
