​​Introduction to cm-locale-zh_CN-12.5.1.8001-1.cop.sha512​​

This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides comprehensive Chinese (Simplified) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.x deployments, integrating SHA-512 cryptographic verification to meet China’s GB/T 35273-2020 data security standards. Released in Q2 2025, it implements mandatory character encoding requirements under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) regulations, including GB18030-2022 and GB2312 support for administrative interfaces, call detail records, and IP phone displays.

The package supports hybrid deployments with Webex Calling and Cisco Jabber endpoints, ensuring consistent linguistic formatting across UCS C480 M5 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ virtual environments. Its dual-layer security architecture combines locale database encryption with FIPS 180-4 compliant checksum validation.
