Abstract
In this technical chapter we will present a block diagram of a PBX and we will describe its parts and how each one can affect its security. Before getting to the PBX itself we will examine the connection to the public network and to other PBXs. We will also see the cabling and distribution frames and we will then move into the PBX itself, describing boards, sets, services etc. This way, being familiar with the technical details, the reader will be ready to proceed to the next chapter, discussing security.
