Multicultural English References
This guide is intended for audiences in the United States (U.S.) and in the Mitel European
market, which includes the United Kingdom (U.K.). Because of this dual support, dual
references are made to industry features, standards, and jargon, as appropriate throughout the
document. For the purposes of this administrator guide, British 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 public
switching system and a private switching system as a “central office (CO) trunk.” In the U.K.,
this same type of line is called a “local exchange trunk.”
This guide does not make a 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 spelled as “analogue.”
