Technical roles include creating connections between phones and to properly end the connection when a call is dropped.

As a matter of fact companies use this switch stations to link all the internal phones lines to an external one. In other words the firm will only lease one line but at the same time it will be used by different employees. Therefore when a person needs to talk to another in the same network they commonly dial a one-digit to four-digit code; this is what is called an extension.
