What is an Analog or Digital (PBX) phone system?
• Analog phone systems are found in most houses in North America which provide a direct connection to your telephone provider (ie. Bell Atlantic). With analog phone lines, modems automatically dial a phone number. • Digital (PBX) phone systems use higher current than analog phones (and can burn out modems that do not have a digital line guard). Digital phones send information from the handset to a PBX in digital format. Because of this, DPI technology can seldom dial digits automatically and requires you to manually dial the phone number on the handset.
