| OPX - Off Premises Extension |
An extension which is located remotely from a PABX. OPX was an expensive service offered by service providers and was little used in the past. OPX is gaining great interest with the introduction of IP telephony and VoIP. OPX allows secondary office phones (and employees at home) to use their handset as though they are connected to the PABX. Extension dialling, call transfers, etc. become available with OPX.

| Override Codes |
Each Australian service provider has its own four digit override code. Calls to domestic or international destinations may be made through a provider by dialling their code before the required number. Override codes may be used on a call-by-call basis. (The user should also have an account with that provider, otherwise the call may be blocked.) Pre-programming a PABX to use override codes for certain call types is one form of LCR (Least Cost Routing).
