This administrator guide supports the requirements of technicians in the United States of
America (USA) and in the Inter-Tel Europe market, which includes the United Kingdom (UK).
Because of this dual support, dual references are made to industry features, standards, and jar-
gon, as appropriate throughout the document. Terms used in the Inter-Tel Europe market
appear in brackets [<European equivalent>]. For the purposes of this administrator guide, Brit-
ish English terms are assumed to apply to other English-speaking European cultures, as well.
For example, the U.S. telecom industry refers to an audio communication line between a pub-
lic switching system and a private switching system as a “central office (CO) trunk.” In the
UK, this same type of line is called a “local exchange trunk.” Applying the dual-reference
guideline would result in the following statements:
• During system installation, the technician connects CO trunks [local exchange trunks]
to the LSM-2 or LSM-4 modules.
• To turn the Diagnostics Mode on or off at an Administrator endpoint, the system admin-
istrator enters 9900 [9100 in Europe].
However, this administrator guide does not make a similar distinction between American
English and British English spellings of common words. Only American English spellings
appear in this manual. For example, the word “analog” is not also spelled “analogue” inasmuch
as the meaning is clear.
