P
Pause
You can insert a pause within a telephone number or at the end of a telephone
number. A pause is also sometimes required to connect to an outside line, or for
overseas fax transmissions to certain countries.
Pause Time
The default settings are two seconds if a pause is inserted within the telephone
number (may vary depending on your location), and 10 seconds if a pause is added
to the end of the telephone number. Only the length of pauses inside a telephone
number, and not those at the end, can be changed.
PBX
Private Branch eXchange. An in-house telephone switching system that
interconnects telephone extensions to each other, as well as to the external
telephone network. A PBX controls the flow of telephone traffic through instruments,
such as paging systems, and automatic callback and dialing.
PDF
Portable Document Format. The page description language used in Adobe Systems'
Acrobat document exchange system, which is restricted neither by device nor
resolution. PDF displays documents in a way that is independent of the original
application software, hardware, and operating system used to create those
documents. A PDF document can contain any combination of text, graphics, and
images.
