hello all.
though i'm not new to PABX but i've not configured a PABX machine by myself so honestly speaking, i'll accept i'm lacking skills of it and that's the reason i came here because i know this is a good beginning. lol
i'm just wondering for a simple basic PABX machine, how many telco line(s) does it require? i mean does it have like 10 telco lines (from the telephone company)then 1-line is used as "front line number" or the number being dialed outside but the "front line number" will not get busy not unless the telco block of lines are all used (if you know what i mean).
i'm just asking because we have a discussion here in our workplace about PABX in which my colleague said that PABX needs a block of telco lines inorder for it not to get busy with only one front line number as the main line that everyone knows or recognize as the company phone number.
however, correct me if i'm wrong but the way i understand it is that a PABX works like with only 1 paid subscription telco line then a PABX machine inside the office or home which is capable of receiving 5 calls if the PABX has the features of 5-in 5-out so the single telco line will only get busy when all the 5-in's are already full or used so the next incoming call will hear a busy tone if it calls the single telco line unless the call goes to the voicemail or queue-waiting if those are configured ..
and the outgoing call from inside the house or office will get a busy tone if it dial 9 if all the 5-outs are used.
well, those are the way i understand it
any way, hope you can enlighten me or those who have some ideas about PABX can also share their expertise.
cheers!
