Introduction to UCSInstall_CER_15.0.1.10000-34.sha512.iso

This SHA512-verified ISO image provides the complete virtual machine template for deploying Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) 15.0.1 in Unified Communications environments. Released under Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.2 in Q1 2025, this build (version 15.0.1.10000-34) introduces enhanced emergency service routing capabilities compliant with E911 Phase II requirements. The “_CER” designation confirms integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 15.x clusters for automated location-based emergency call handling.

The image incorporates preconfigured security profiles meeting NENA i3 standards, including TLS 1.3 encryption for PSAP integrations and FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules. System administrators can deploy this template on VMware ESXi 8.0U2+ or Cisco UCS C240 M6/M7 rack servers to reduce emergency service configuration time by 70% compared to manual implementations.
