A few quick corrections I feel I should point out. A PBX is a Private Branch Exchange, or a dedicated central office (usually around 500 to more than 1,000 extensions) that large enterprises use. A Key System is one of the smaller telephone systems used by business with less than 500 telephones. NADP = No, it's the North American Numbering Plan, or NANP. In addition, I should point out that the NANP is just the numbering format standard, and not the way calls are routed. Calls are routed using Signaling System Number 7, or SS7, which is a protocol which central offices use to communicate. They use out of band data to transmit information such as the destination number, caller ID information, et cetera. The average central office in a small town serves about 5,000 lines.

telecomguy10: Also, no phone systems are not always easy to work on. There is more than just the $600 system this guy is used too. All Dmarcs on the outside of the building? Only is someone is not doing their job. Got about halfway through, couldn't stand any more. I was curious if he knew what PBX even stood for.

[@juliamhayes]

One hour ago I didn't understand PSTN, PBX or the separateness of voicemail. You are a master communicator Eli. Thanks very much for this lesson.

10 years later, concept still the same. Great video for beginner understanding of PBX. I will recommend this video to anyone who knows nothing about phone system and want to learn the concept.

[@bonganibunu5171]

This is the best lecturer on technologies i have ever come across.

[@3jalil]

Eli I must say that you are not only a genius but a very good teacher, very few people can explain things as you do!

[@pdpUU]

Exactly what I needed for a new job from a repeat client! It was for a phone + networking audit/survey - I had only brief background on phone prior, this video caught me up to speed perfectly.

[@jolinlee7161]

10 years later. It is still relevant.

[@utkarshmishra1928]

Eli, I can't thank you enough for providing such a quality and insightful content for free. I was struggling for a long time to understand voice communication and then i stumbled upon your video series, and then i have been binge-watching it from then on. Once again, thanks a lot!!

[@Abijossy]

I must say this, this is how to teach. Clarity, aim, purpose, delivering all top notch. You are the bomb🎉🎉🎉

[@fgwaller]

One small Comment about Trunk lines. What you describe is the operation of Analog lines, however even in the US for connecting a PBX digital Lines are more common. One of the Advantages of digital lines is that you do not have to setup huntgroups or alike with your carrier anymore. With ISDN and T1 lines a part of the bandwidth is reserved to communicate the called number, callerid, which of the connected channels the call is going to use, etc. This allows more settings to be made on site.

[@itpugil]

i got hired and was asked to study about "asterisk" but i had trouble understanding what PBX's and PSTN's are because no video here in youtube could explain it, was really happy to run into this class, always loved watching his contents thank you so much eli even back then when i was in college i run towards your videos for help! :)

[@mikegigliotti5601]

I'm an electrical engineer from pa. A college classmate and I started a electrical construction company and we recently ran into a telephone problem and we quickly realized in our extensive studies we knew nothing about phone system thanks to this video I was able to save the day thanks..great video

[@elithecomputerguy]

@xofuoy The "lines", Trunk Lines, represent how many concurrent calls that can be going on between people inside the building and phones outside the building. So if 4 people are on calls with people OUTSIDE the building when the 5th person tries to call OUT the call will fail (They may get a fast busy signal, or something else.) If on the other hand you have 6 people talking to other people INSIDE the building then when a person tries to call out they will be able to.

[@davekrasmussen]

One way to look at the PBX and Voicemail is to consider the PBX as a router, and the voice mail as an "audio server" for the system

[@alexilaiho8534]

Hello Eli, just stop by to say thank you! I watched this video before when I'm about to take my telephony class and it gave me a jump start. Although it is not the entirety, still it help me a lot and because of it I got 3.5 in my telephony class. I think its almost 2 years ago. Now I am an engineer, so thank you and continue making up video and being passionate about it!

[@GK-cj6tq]

Don't think I have ever seen a video on technology so easily explained.Can't​ thank you enough!!

[@midnytemyst79]

I am a network engineer and voice is like speaking latin almost, but you have made alot of the technology make sense to me and I appreciate that. Keep doing great work.

[@sblove99]

Got a better understanding of PBX here in 45 minutes here than I have 6 months on job... Great vid!

[@anotheruser3679]

Here in 2023. Thank you very much. Quite insightful. Had to subscribe noting that I need to study alot of Telecom stuff in these two months

[@StatsSweeney]

ELi, great video. I was forced to change careers and got 'hooked' up with a voice and data company. These videos have helped me to understand on a deeper level something i took for granted. They are also helping me to get on my feet with the new job. Keep them coming!!!

[@clintonbeckway4171]

This Eli the computer guy needs tobe cloned and sent to every Technical college and uni around the world, I have learnt alot and he puts things in an easy to understand way. Good work keep on Teaching ! Now if only I can find someone as good as him to teach me Maths !

[@jitukali2652]

Clinton Beckway I agree with you.

[@sportsspot8181]

Plz add types of wireless telephone system topic

[@dangelor]

This video was SO helpful as I'm preparing to administer our Lync 2010 environement and have had no experience with the voice side of things. Thanks so much!

[@spiffai]

You rock dude! I work for a communications company and nobody can explain these concepts as well as you do. Keep being awesome! I'm going to watch all of your videos like a rabid fan girl.

[@kennyflores4327]

You the man Eli! Im attending ITT Tech for my bachelors in information systems and cyber security and your videos are very helpful along the way. Keep em coming!

[@TelNetVA]

Eli ... love what you are doing with you video series. As a "phone guy" myself I appreciate you reaching out to educate others in our industry.

[@PBC66]

ADSL is effectively "piggybacked" onto a standard line and filtered at your premises. So if installed properly, the regular telephone side of the connection can be used for anything that a non-ADSL telephone line can be used for, including fax or dial-up computer access.

[@springflowerangel]

I've been for long confused about trunk line, hunt groups, PBX, and voice mail system, now I understand it, Thanks!

[@mariagholston2379]

I thank you so much, for your wisdom and time explaining the basics for which we have learned. I'm trying to figure out how to make our small business work smoothly. We need to purchase phones without over spending. Thanks for the good work 👏

[@cookmymeat]

Eli the Computer guy likes to double up his so. But who cares, since he's articulated and makes all these boring things pretty much interesting. Thank you, E!

[@omskariyazmaraikayer913]

Dear Eli I been watching some of your videos . Their extremely good. Its time I thanked you . Sir.

[@cottonfield2580]

Fantastic way to educate people interested in technology.

[@MrMuralikrishna1982]

for not only these videos, i have got addicted to all your training sessions. Specially the Linux training programs which helped me to the core. More than knowledge on Linux, you have given me the confidence and made me to realize that linux is not a big deal. Thanks a ton !!

[@laraphzglobaltechnology5621]

First lecture on telephone system. I love it, very comprehensive. You re a great teacher.

[@TheTechieTube]

Probably the most informative and easy to comprehend computer techie site on the net. Thanks Eli for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheDecoyroy]

For UK people, the lines coming in are normally ISDN lines, for each set of lines we would use ISDN lines, each line in has 2 channels, 1 in and one out, or 2 in or 2 out. Some use 4 ISDN in the same way.

[@stavrosstamatakis]

Such a simple and jargon free language... If only all teaching was done like that. Excellent job Eli

[@Peter95111]

awesome. I've worked for a telecommunications company for 6 months now and I've learned so much from this.thanks!

[@LuckyConnections]

You are doing Great job without any Greedness of Money! Knowledge is Power!

[@medpinlondon]

Thank you so much, man. I joined a company for an IT position, and being a new bee to IT Industry, i was struggling to know the SIP Trunk concept. Now I am clear, thank you for your help!

[@AritraChattoraj]

how can in the world a man has sooo clear concept on what he says... excellent.. If I would be a teacher some day.. I would love to copy ELI. it helps students who are low meritorious just like me..

[@maneeshkumarmuralidhar7713]

Great Tutorial, I see huge patience form the Teacher in explainaton. Thank You

[@willb169]

I now am a tad less clueless about phones than before :-) Thanks! When I was totally green and still wet behind the ears, I worked for a company that had some old ugly looking menu driven interface for their PBX or VM. It was a HUGE company and only 1 solitary IT guy handled all phone tickets. Obviously he was worth his weight in gold and his job security was fairly untouchable...

[@GOAVOXI]

Once again Eli provides a information video that this time describes what we need to know when it come phones.

[@theguyatx8225]

I can't even begin to tell you how helpful this video is. Thanks for posting it, I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.

[@squirrel1620]

Great video. I was just hired at a company that has a lot of legacy gear attached to a hydro electric pump, I needed some insight to the job before I started so thank you! I know ethernet like the back of my hand but had no knowledge of phone systems

[@Uniquelife_17]

one of the great teacher on youtube.. I am biggest fan of your powerful presentation....very informative video may god bless you...

[@Oldgoat38]

Thanks Eli. I appreciate the detail in your talks. I needed this series of talks.

[@rustleraw]

This really is allot of information for one video but you did a good job of simplifying the technology and its role.

[@Ha-ma2627]

Here to refresh my mind, and This is such a simple, clear, concise way of explaining this overall topic. Not only does he takes his sweet time with each topic but he also explains it a few different ways to get the point across… keep it up!

[@alwynwil]

[@jamesholder1703]

I would have to agree and say that you truly are a great teacher! I am glad I found you here, keep teaching and I will definitely keep learning, you make it very easy!

[@geoalm2015]

I just want to say that this was a great intro video session. Awesome job Eli! Keep doing what you are doing. You have a gift of explaining technical material in ways for others to grasp easily. Thank you.

[@aniruddh01afterburn]

Hats off to your in depth knowledge .... Learned a lot ....Thanks a Lot for sharing your knowledge in such an easy to understand process... Great

[@onlyben911]

i really enjoy all your videos. my 1st ever best teacher

[@elithecomputerguy]

essentially the answer is "yes"... With that size environment you start dealing with different technology but for all intents and purposes the concept stays the same...

[@WilliamGonzalez-nc8pg]

Hi I really apreciate all the effort you do to make this tutorials, i like how clear and understandable explain all the topics. i work in one of the many english call center's in Guatemala City so all this information will be hepfull. grettings from Guatemala City . If any body want's to know more about uor coutry search for "guatemala beautiful"

[@DarioDeSantis]

Eli, you rock! You saved me hours of pain to find all those info and wisdom!

[@norbertrivera]

Very nice explanation,thanks for share.

[@kennygwozdz5792]

"BOB...we need your help up front". LOL...smart guy AND with a sense of humor. Enjoyed the Video.

[@alexblack849]

Great and easy to understand introduction to Telephone System! Thumbs up !

[@bloonexy3261]

You're correct,, but only in part.. Trunks are used for that. But other places as well. It's like hearing a Toyota is a car and thinking all cars are Toyotas.. Trunks are used for more things than just that. But they all do go back to a CO, even if the CO is local, and not leading directly back to the Service-in. Or so it can be also.

[@ankitchauhan2791]

Thanks a lot Eli, you explain the topics from scratch. Perfect for beginners!!

[@GrgRocky2011]

This guys knows all things.. keep it up..

[@ericwarf9634]

Great intro to the world of basic phone networks.

[@ElLiso2011]

[@verybrowndude]

Very well explained. One can give a lecture on basics after watching it. Thumbs up.

[@c9jester]

Being an IT grunt in a small office, this seems to be the best way to spend my down time.

[@aboood8111]

Eli you are better than my University lecturer

[@PBC66]

Re "Every single trunk has to have its own phone number." At one time with many electromechanical central offices that was the case, but it's not true these days. It's possible to have a multi-line hunt group set up with only a single telephone number.

[@alfyhide]

pretty good simple and straight forward staff

[@erasch891]

You are a very good teacher, Eli. Keep up the good work. Your explanations are fantastic and easy to comprehend.

[@xxmlhedxx]

being a phone man myself... im impressed.. very well done!! :)

[@paularthur5124]

On your last note at work I use Avaya Site Administration to change the configuration of my PBX. This has GEDI which is a GUI interface.

PBX is a acronym for Private Branch Exchange. They can exist physically in a CO for a private corp.
