Introduction to cm-locale-ar_OM-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-ar_OM-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512 is a critical localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x deployments requiring Arabic (Oman) language support. This SHA512-signed COP file provides localized interface elements, date/time formats, and region-specific compliance configurations for administrative portals and endpoint devices.
Developed under Cisco’s Middle East Localization Initiative, this package adheres to Oman’s TRC 2023-07 telecommunications regulations for Arabic script rendering and right-to-left text alignment. It integrates with CUCM’s internationalization framework to enable:
- Arabic numeral displays in CDR reports
- Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization
- Locale-specific TLS cipher suite prioritization
Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14.0(1)SU2 or later, this release (build 2000-1) was published on March 15, 2024 as part of Cisco’s Q2 collaboration software refresh.
Key Features and Technical Enhancements
1. Extended Right-to-Left UI Support
- Call Manager HTML5 Console: Full RTL rendering for Arabic script in device configuration panels and dial plans
- PDF Report Generation: Native Arabic font embedding in CDR exports (ISO 32000-2:2020 compliance)
2. Regional Compliance Updates
- Oman Dial Code Handling: Automatic +968 country code validation in route patterns
- Emergency Service Mapping: Integration with Oman’s 9999 emergency response system database
3. Security Validation
- SHA512 Integrity Checking: Cryptographic hash verification prevents tampering during deployment (RFC 6234 standard)
- Locale-Specific Cipher Suites: Prioritizes TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 for Omani government systems
