2. ABSTRACT
A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular
business or office, as opposed to one that a common carrier or telephone company
operates for many businesses or for the general public.
PBXs are also referred to as:
EPABX – electronic private automatic branch exchange
PBXs make connections among the internal telephones of a private organization—
usually a business—and also connect them to the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) via trunk lines. Because they incorporate telephones, fax
machines, modems, and more, the general term "extension" is used to refer to any
end point on the branch. PBXs are differentiated from "key systems" in that users
of key systems manually select their own outgoing lines, while PBXs select the
outgoing line automatically. Hybrid systems combine features of both.
3. INTRODUCTION :
Electronic Private Automatic Branch Exchange is a shortening that represents
EPABX System. It goes under the classification of business telephone frameworks
which serve a business environment. Multi-line connections can be made through
a solitary telephonic association. It is an office , Restaurant hardware of huge use
for telephonic availability with expansions of a solitary telephone line. It tends to
be leased from office And Restaurant gear providers as well.
5. FUNCTION OF THE EPABX SYSTEM :
Four main functions of epabx system are:
Establishing connections (circuits) between the telephone sets of two users (e.g. mapping a dialed
number to a physical phone, ensuring the phone isn't already busy)
Maintaining such connections as long as the users require them.
Disconnecting those connections as per the user's requirement
Providing information for accounting purposes
10. COMPONENTS OF EPABX :
External Telco trunks that deliver signals to and from the EPABX.
Microcontrollers and microcomputer for arbitrary data processing
for control and the logic.
Console or switchboard allows the operator to control incoming calls
UPS, connecting wiring, cabinets and other housing materials
11. ISDN EPABX SYSTEM :
Integrated Services Digital Network, also
known as ISDN, is a type of telephone system
that carries both voice and data in digital
format (bits) rather than waves.
13. SPIDER EPABX SYSTEM:
Spider EPABX is the latest in telecommunication,
based on micro-processor technology, in which the
switching matrix is based on CMOS chips
providing high reliability and low power
consumption Plug-in, modular PCB construction
ensures immediate up gradation and repairs

POWER SUPPLY - 415 V + 10%, 3-phase, 4 wire, 50Hz + 3%, effectively earthed.
17. FUTURE UPGRADES AND PRICE:
Upgradability and the cost of expanding the EPABX system needs to
be considered as well.
Price is another important factor to consider as India is a very price
sensitive market. If you are choosing the cheaper PBX, then it should
not compromise on the quality. There are many supplementary costs
like wiring, power supply backup, battery, rack, etc. Maintenance
costs also need to be taken into account
18. ADVANTAGES OF EPABX SYSTEMS :
Sharing of Resources
Easy Programming
Call transfer
Call waiting
Conference call
Now a days EPABX System offers Alarms,Remainderss for meeting,
appointments, Do Not Disturb (DND) etc.
19. DISADVANTAGE OF EPABX SYSTEM :
Need careful handling.
Installed and fixed at one place.
Maintenance cost is high.
Required Electricity .
21. CONCLUSION
EPBAX system is the way people communicate with other very easily
but at a fixed place only. Fortunately, new Standards May soon Let us
leave the analog world Behind.
