In other words the firm will only lease one line but at the same time it will be used by different employees. Therefore when a person needs to talk to another in the same network they commonly dial a one-digit to four-digit code; this is what is called an extension.

A typical system is formed by the combination of items like; station lines, micro-computers that control and process data, back-up power, Telecom trunks and switch boards that assist in delivery signals. All together the components serve specific functions. Such as rejecting some calls, auto-help, forwarding calls, caller blocking and greetings.
