The main purpose of the system is to provide the access to limited resources. As in any business system, there is the requirement of the multiple phone system. Rather than using the multi-system, the PBX compile the company’s phone in one unit. The early system was known as switchboard. The operator attends the phone and connects the line with a particular department or the person so it is an easy way to make the business phone connection manageable and easy to handle. Now the PBX system is advanced and uses electronic system to access the lines and connect with the particular person.
