Whether a switchboard exists or not, it's interesting to note that the place it would probably be is the servants' quarters, which is on the first floor and, based on vague approximations of the mansion layout, probably near to the entrance hall. No idea if it's on the same side of the building as the parlor (thus, Beatrice wouldn't have to cross the entrance hall) or not (thus, she would), but the basic idea is that after the parlor murders she'd go to the other room and either place the call there or just patch the study through to the parlor from there, then double back in order to "duel" Natsuhi.
It's actually vaguely interesting to wonder what room the killer is in at any given time when not actually visible as a survivor.
