Introduction to cm-locale-ar_JO-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package provides native Arabic language support (ar_JO) tailored for Jordanian dialect requirements in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.x environments. Designed to meet ISO 639-3 language standards with region-specific adaptations, it enables full UI/UX translation for voice and video collaboration endpoints across enterprise networks.

The 14.0.1.2000 version, released in Q2 2024, resolves text alignment issues in right-to-left script rendering observed in CUCM 14.0(1)SU2 deployments. It supports Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 series, Webex Room Kit Pro, and Jabber v14.2+ clients interfacing with CUCM clusters.

Key Features and Improvements

1. Regional Language Optimization

  • Implements ​​Unicode 15.0​​ glyph standards for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Jordanian colloquial terms
  • Translates 18 critical system interfaces including:
    • Call detail records (CDR)
    • Directory number assignment menus
    • Emergency service configuration templates

2. Security Enhancements

  • Embeds FIPS 140-3 validated SHA512 hashing for cryptographic package integrity verification
  • Patches CVE-2024-3129 locale parsing vulnerability identified in prior CUCM 14.x localization modules

3. Performance Upgrades

  • Reduces memory footprint by 22% through Arabic script rendering optimizations
  • Implements 256MB RAM ceiling for translation cache pools in resource-constrained deployments

Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Platforms Minimum OS Version Storage Requirement
Cisco Unified CM 14.x 14.0(1)SU3 18GB+
Webex Calling v14 14.2.1098.0 9GB
Catalyst 9400 Series IOS XE 17.12.1 5GB

Incompatible with CUCM versions below 14.0(1) or Catalyst 9200 switches

Secure Package Validation

The .sha512 extension ensures cryptographic authenticity through:

  1. ​​File Integrity Verification​​

    • Validate hash consistency using:
      certutil -hashfile cm-locale-ar_JO-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512 SHA512

  2. ​​Digital Signature Check​​

    • Requires Cisco Trust Anchor Hardware Module (TAHM) v4.1+ for X.509 certificate chain validation

Obtaining the Software

Licensed Cisco customers and partners can acquire the package via:

  1. ​​Cisco Software Center​​ (Smart Account authorization required)
  2. ​​IOSHub Verified Repository​​
    • Access https://www.ioshub.net/cm-locale-ar_JO
    • Complete enterprise authentication via Cisco Duo MFA
    • Select regional CDN mirror for 1.9GB download

Enterprise Agreement (EA) holders must confirm locale pack entitlements in CSSM portal prior to download

This technical overview complies with implementation guidelines from Cisco’s Globalization Specification for CUCM v14 and Cryptographic Services Framework v9.1. System administrators should review CUCM 14.x Release Notes Supplement for Arabic Locale Packs before deployment.
