Private Automatic Branch eXchange PABX <communications> (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.
