what is a PBX system ?
A PBX system stands for Private Branch Exchange.
In the context of a telephone system, like the one described in the manual (which mentions needing a pause when making calls using a PBX):
What it is: A PBX is a private telephone network used within a company or organization. It allows users to communicate internally (extension-to-extension) and externally (to the public switched telephone network or PSTN) using a shared set of outside lines.
Function: In a business setting, a PBX manages internal extensions, call routing, voicemail, conferencing, and often provides features like transfer, hold, and access codes for outside lines.
Why it matters for this phone: When you connect a standard cordless phone system to a PBX, you often need to dial an access number (usually a “9” or another digit) before dialing an outside number. This tells the PBX system that you want to use one of the shared outside lines rather than dialing another internal extension.
As mentioned on page 15 of the manual under “Chain dial”:
This pause is necessary because the PBX needs a short delay after you dial the access digit before it registers the subsequent outside number correctly.
