A PBX file generally refers to two different file types. The primary types are Asterisk Configuration Files and Private Branch Exchange Files, often used for configuring phone exchange systems. It is important to note these are not usually meant to be manually edited or viewed, but are necessary for the correct function of these systems.

These are config files that help manage the details of the phone exchange, such as users and permissions. For further information, you might consider visiting the Asterisk official homepage.
