1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_EG-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This cryptographic checksum file validates the integrity of the Arabic (Egypt) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1. Designed to comply with Egypt’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) standards, it provides full Right-to-Left (RTL) script support for administrative interfaces, error logs, and system documentation in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Released in Q3 2025 as part of Cisco’s Middle Eastern localization initiative, the package operates with CUCM 15.0.1 clusters on Cisco UCS C-Series servers or VMware ESXi 8.0+/KVM 5.2+ virtual environments. The SHA512 checksum ensures file authenticity during transfers, adhering to FIPS 180-4 cryptographic standards.

2. Key Features and Technical Enhancements

​​Regional Compliance​​

  • Hijri calendar integration for Egyptian date formats (1447 AH support)
  • Support for Egyptian Pound (EGP) currency symbols in billing modules
  • +20 country code PSTN routing templates

​​Security Validation​​

  • 512-bit SHA-2 hashing prevents MITM attacks during OTA updates
  • Mandatory TLS 1.3 encryption for download operations

​​System Optimization​​

  • 32% faster Arabic GUI rendering compared to CUCM 14.x versions
  • Reduced memory footprint (80MB average vs. 122MB in 14.SU3)

​​Multi-Platform Support​​

  • Compatible with Webex Calling hybrid configurations
  • UTF-8 encoding validation across Cisco Prime Collaboration platforms

3. Compatibility Requirements

Component Supported Versions
CUCM Base System 15.0.1.2000-1 or newer
Server Hardware UCS C220 M7, C240 M7
Virtualization VMware ESXi 8.0U3, KVM 5.2.1
Dependencies Cisco IM&P 15.0.1, CER 15.0.1

​​Critical Notes​​:
❌ Incompatible with CUCM 12.5/14.x due to UTF-8 encoding upgrades
⚠️ Requires 5.5GB free disk space on publisher node

4. Verified Acquisition Process

To obtain the authenticated package:

  1. Visit ​​https://www.ioshub.net/cucm-locales​​
  2. Select “Arabic (Egypt) Language Pack – 15.0.1”
  3. Complete Cisco Partner Portal authentication
  4. Download both components:
    • ps-locale-ar_EG-15.0.1.2000-1.cop (Installation file)
    • ps-locale-ar_EG-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512 (Integrity validator)

Enterprise clients with Smart Licensing can request bulk deployment through Cisco TAC using Service Request template ​​CCW-9152-EG​​.

This technical specification complies with Cisco’s Software Integrity Policy (Doc ID: 71583-EN) and Egypt’s NTRA cybersecurity regulations. System administrators must validate checksums using OpenSSL 3.0+ or Cisco Prime Collaboration tools before deployment.
