Private Automatic Branch eXchange
(PABX) A telephone exchange operated within
an organisation, used for switching calls between internal
lines and between internal and {PSTN} lines. In contrast to a
{PMBX}, a PABX can route calls without manual intervention,
based entirely on the number dialed. Not all PABXs can route
external calls to internal numbers automatically however.
