If your system will be communicating with systems using different languages, use care when specifying configuration names that will be exchanged with the remote system.
Do not use characters that might not be available on the keyboard used by the remote system; for example, characters such as a dollar sign ($), pound sign (#), and an at sign (@). For an illustration of characters you can use in configuration names, see Invariant character set.
You should limit support of configuration names that use characters outside of the invariant character set to those already in use on existing systems.
Configuration names that might be exchanged with remote systems include:
- Network identifiers
- Location names
- Control point names
- Mode description names
- Class-of-service description names
- User IDs (from the directory entry)
For more information about configuration names, see the
Communications Configuration manual (located at the V5R1information center supplemental manuals 
Web site).
For more information about software installation, see the appropriate software
product books.
