Public networking: Setting up basic systems
Public networks are the connection between the BCM and the public network (PSTN network).
This following provides examples of two basic types of systems.
• “Public networks: PBX system setup” on page 329
• “Public network: DID system” on page 330
Public networks: PBX system setup
PBX is Short for Private Branch Exchange, a private telephone network used within an enterprise.
Users of the PBX share a certain number of outside lines for making telephone calls external to the
PBX. Dialing within the PBX is typically 3 to 4 digit dialing between local and remote networked
nodes.
This setup is for a larger offices which have fewer CO lines than there are telephones. In this case
the lines are pooled, and the line pool is assigned to all telephones. As well, there is a designated
attendant with a telephone that has all lines individually assigned.
Figure 111 illustrates an example of a PBX system.
