The control circuit of the private branch exchange has a pager calling function, a calling line storage function, a terminal recognition function, a calling line information notification function, and a line connection function.

Here, when the pager calling function receives an extension call using an ID code from a central office line or an extension, the pager calling function
This function retrieves the calling identification code set for the code from the storage device and sends it to the pager transmitter.

The calling line storage function is a function of storing information about the office line or extension that issued the extension call using the ID code, together with the ID code used for the call, in the calling line information storage section.

Further, the terminal recognition function is a function that, when an ID code is input from an extension terminal, recognizes the extension terminal and the input ID code.

Further, the calling line information notification function issues a call to the extension terminal recognized by the terminal recognition function using the ID code input from the extension terminal, and transmits information about the office line or extension to the calling line. This is a function to read from the line information storage unit and notify.

Further, the line connection function is a function of sending a line connection signal to the communication path circuit to connect the extension terminal for which the information notification by the calling line information notification function has been completed and the office line or extension that issued the call based on the ID code. It is.

1 Effect] In the private branch exchange system according to the present invention, when an extension user who knows that he is being called by a pager receiver manually enters his ID code from any extension terminal, the terminal recognition function is activated and the Extension terminal and input ID
