Introduction to ps-locale-ar_EG-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512 verification file ensures cryptographic integrity for Cisco’s Arabic (Egypt) localization package in Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 14.0.1.3000-1. Designed for North African deployments, it implements:

  • Right-to-left text rendering with UTF-8 encoding for Egyptian dialect
  • Localized emergency service labels compliant with NTRA telecom regulations
  • Bilingual support for Arabic/English administrative interfaces

Compatible with UCM 14.0 clusters on Cisco UCS C-Series servers, this package enables localized voicemail prompts while maintaining FIPS 180-4 compliance through 512-bit hash validation. The embedded checksum prevents man-in-the-middle attacks during file distribution, aligning with Cisco’s cryptographic security standards.


Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​Regional Compliance​

    • Supports Egyptian Pound (EGP) symbols in CDR reports
    • Implements date formats (DD/MM/YYYY) per Egyptian national standards
  2. ​Security Validation​

    • SHA512 checksum validation aligns with NIST SP 800-131B standards
    • Validates against Cisco’s digital certificate chain for COP files
  3. ​System Integration​

    • Enables localized:
      • Emergency service routing for Cairo/Alexandria regions
      • Auto-attendant prompts in Modern Standard Arabic
      • Time-based routing for Ramadan schedules
  4. ​Performance Optimization​

    • 20% reduction in memory usage vs v13.x locale modules
    • Fixes Arabic diacritic rendering latency in Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT)

Compatibility and Requirements

​Supported Platforms​ ​Minimum Version​ ​Release Date​
Cisco Unified CM Publisher 14.0(1.3000-1) Q4 2024
IM & Presence Service 14.0(1SU5) Q1 2025
UCS C240 M5 Server 4.1(3d) BIOS 2024

​Compatibility Notes:​

  • Requires Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.6SU3 for full monitoring
  • Conflicts with third-party locale packs using overlapping namespace IDs

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​Functional Constraints​

    • Arabic locale settings don’t apply to legacy JTAPI interfaces
    • Limited to 64-bit UCM cluster configurations
  2. ​Technical Requirements​

    • Minimum 3.3GB free space in /common/downloads partition
    • Not supported on virtual machines with <16GB RAM allocation
  3. ​Licensing​

    • Mandatory Smart Software License (SSLM) activation post-install
    • Excluded from Essentials Edition subscription bundles

Verified Download Process

For authorized network administrators with valid Cisco service contracts:

  1. Access Cisco Software Center
