1. Introduction to uc-locale-en_AU-15.0.0.1-16.cop.sha512
This cryptographic checksum file validates the integrity of the Australian English localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.0.1. Developed under Australia’s Communications Alliance ACIF C628:2024 standards, it provides region-specific formatting for administrative interfaces, audit logs, and technical documentation including localized date/time formats (DD/MM/YYYY) and telecommunications terminology.
Released in Q4 2024 as part of Cisco’s APJC localization roadmap, the package operates with CUCM 15.0.0.1 clusters on Cisco UCS C-Series M7 servers or VMware ESXi 8.0U3+ environments. The SHA512 checksum ensures FIPS 180-4 compliance for secure file transfers.
2. Key Features and Technical Enhancements
Regional Compliance
- AS/NZS ISO 8601:2024 date/time standards with AEDT/AEST timezone auto-detection
- Localized telecom billing formats including GST tax codes (GST-free, BAS codes)
- Emergency service routing templates for Australian 000/106 emergency numbers
Security Validation
- 512-bit SHA-2 hashing prevents MITM attacks during OTA updates
- Mandatory TLS 1.3 encryption for download operations
System Optimization
- 22% faster text rendering compared to legacy localization packs
- 18% reduction in memory consumption (94MB vs. 115MB in v14.SU4)
Multi-Platform Support
- Compatible with Webex Calling hybrid deployments
- UTF-8 encoding validation across Prime Collaboration 15.0 platforms
3. Compatibility Requirements
Component | Supported Versions |
---|---|
CUCM Base System | 15.0.0.1-16 or newer |
Server Hardware | UCS C220 M7, C240 M7 |
