Abstract: A telephone of the present invention is a push button type telephone whereby a DTMF signal of a first one-touch dial table is sent out in accordance with operation keys input in the general line mode and a DTMF signal of a second one-touch dial table is sent out in the private branch exchange mode. A signal sent out from a telephone in the private branch exchange mode represents a character string composed of one or more of character, starting with a character selected from a particular character group like such a less frequently used character as “A”, “B”, “C” or “D”, for example. A function table on the part of a private branch exchange establishes ties between a character string starting with a character included in the aforementioned character group and a service function.

Abstract: This invention is to provide a telephone exchange capable of operating any one of the juxtaposed and registered extension radiotelephones and wire telephones by only specifying one extension dial number. For this purpose, a wire port physical number is registered in association with a radio port physical number so that two normally separate extension wire telephone (006a, 006b, . . . ) and radiotelephone (008a, 008b, . . . ) can be handled as if they were a single-channel extension phone with a branch switch. Thus, when the user handles two separate radio telephone and wire telephone, the call to the wire telephone can be transferred to the radiotelephone by a simple operation. When the user leaves his desk on which the wire telephone is installed, carrying the radiotelephone with him, it can be carried to a long distance.

Abstract: In a private branch exchange apparatus having a plurality of extension ports, each extension port capable of connecting a push button telephone and a general standard type telephone in parallel, when a call occurs at one extension port where the parallel connection has been done, a ring sound can be produced at the push button or standard type telephone selectively. An additional dialling provides the selection between the push button and the standard type telephone. A memory may specify either of the push button or standard type telephone to be ringed. A call between the push button telephone and the standard type telephone can be provided in accordance with the additional dialing or data stored in a memory.
