Document Style Conventions
This section identifies the style conventions used throughout the manual.
British English and American English References
This document supports the requirements of technicians in the United States of America (USA)
and in the Inter-Tel European market, which includes the United Kingdom (UK). Because of this
dual support, dual references are made to industry features, standards, and jargon, as
appropriate throughout the document. Terms used in the Inter-Tel European market appear in
brackets [<
European equivalent >]. For the purposes of this addendum, 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 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
administrator enters 9900 [9100 in Europe].
However, this document does not make a similar distinction between American English and
British English spellings of common words. Only American English spellings appear in this
document. For example, the word “analog” is
not also spelled “analogue,” inasmuch as the
meaning is clear.
References to “Endpoints”
This document uses the term “endpoint” to describe the devices that the Inter-Tel 5000 family of
products supports over Internet Protocol. In this context, digital and IP phones are endpoints, as
are data modules, fax machines, computer telephony (CT) gateways, Single-Line Adapters
(SLA), IP Single-Line Adapters (IP-SLA), Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)/Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) gateways, Inter-Tel Audio and Web Conferencing (IAWC), and
answering machines.
To promote clear communication and understanding, commonly accepted names of endpoints
are used as appropriate. In particular, desktop IP endpoints may also be referred to as IP
phones. Digital endpoints may also referred to as digital phones. Wireless endpoints may also
referred to as wireless phones. And, analog single line endpoints are also referred to as single
line phones or single line sets.
NOTE
An extensive list of abbreviations and acronyms used in this manual appears in
the Reference chapter. See “Abbreviations and Acronyms” on
page 6-37 .
NOTE
In this document and in the Database (DB) Programming application, an endpoint
or phone may also be called a “station” if reference to the endpoint or phone and
its environment are intended. Or, it may be called “device” in the most general
sense.
