<div><p>Workstation controllers that attach to the iSeries™ server can support a number of
different languages simultaneously.</p>
<p>The characteristics of multilingual support depend on the type of workstation
controller. The types of workstation controllers that can be attached to the iSeries server
are:</p>
<ul><li>Twinaxial</li>
<li>ASCII</li>
<li>Remote</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="rbagswrkstacontrequire__HDRMULTILINGSUPPORTFORWRKSTACON"><a name="rbagswrkstacontrequire__HDRMULTILINGSUPPORTFORWRKSTACON"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Multilingual support
for the iSeries workstation
controller</h4><p>There are limitations to the amount of support provided
by a workstation controller in a multilingual support.</p>
<ul><li>The workstation must be able to transmit and receive data in the required
language.</li>
<li>Each workstation controller supports a maximum number of languages at
the same time, regardless of the keyboard types. This maximum number is in
addition to the U.S. English support. <ul><li>Twinaxial workstation controllers support a maximum of 3 languages.</li>
<li>ASCII workstation controllers support a maximum of 14 national language
versions, in addition to U.S. English.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The number of keyboard types allowed on a workstation controller is dependent
on the different keyboard types required.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagstwinaxwrkstarequire.htm">Twinaxial workstation controller requirements</a></strong><br />
The local twinaxial workstation controller maps keyboard data received from a workstation into EBCDIC values corresponding to the keyboard ID configured for that workstation on the system.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsasciiwrkstacontreq.htm">ASCII workstation controller requirements</a></strong><br />
Like twinaxial devices, ASCII devices for different national language versions support different code pages. The ASCII workstation controller handles conversion of data back and forth between a particular EBCDIC code page for a language and an ASCII code page for that same language by using a set of mapping tables.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbags5394and5395wrkstacon.htm">5394 remote workstation controller requirements</a></strong><br />
The 5394 remote workstation controller is a twinaxial workstation controller and uses conversion tables to map the data between the devices.</li>
