​​Introduction to cm-locale-ko_KR-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn​​

This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides Korean language localization with Secure Generic Network (SGN) cryptographic verification for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.x systems. Officially released in Q1 2025, it complies with South Korea’s Communications Standards Act (Article 44-3) and Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), enforcing proper formatting of national identifiers, emergency service numbers (119/112), and Hangul text rendering across CUCM interfaces. The package supports hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling and Jabber endpoints, ensuring linguistic consistency on Cisco 8800/8865 Series IP Phones and administrative portals.

Designed for enterprises operating under Korean regulatory frameworks, it is validated for use with UCS C480 M5 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ virtualization environments. The SGN verification mechanism meets FIPS 140-3 standards, providing dual-layer security for locale database integrity.
