PBX

• PBX refers to the private branch exchange owned and operated by the business associated with a particular Nortel device. This allows several internal telephone lines to function together with one Nortel console. A PBX allows these telephone lines to be reached as internal extensions while having a specific number for external communications, all combined in one private telephone network.
