® PBX Integration Boards and Dialogic ® APIs to develop a computer
telephony application for use on a PBX.
When this manual addresses “you,” it means “you, the programmer,” and when

1.2. Product Terminology
This manual includes information relevant to those choosing to use a Private
Branch Exchange (PBX) or Key Telephone System (KTS) with a Dialogic
® PBX
Integration Board. A PBX is a privately owned, mini version of a telephone
company’s central office (CO) switch. Grouped with PBXs are KTSs, which are
generally smaller versions of a PBX that provide direct access to CO telephone
lines. For simplicity, the term PBX is sometimes used herein to denote a PBX, a
KTS, or both.
In a PBX environment a line from the CO is called a trunk and a phone is called a
line, extension, or station.
