Introduction to ps-locale-ar_OM-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ar_OM-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512 is a Cisco Options Package (COP) designed to enable native Omani Arabic language support in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5 deployments. This localization solution complies with Oman’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) Directive 2025-12 for right-to-left (RTL) language support in enterprise communication systems. It addresses critical localization requirements across:
- Administrative web interfaces
- Call Detail Records (CDRs) with Arabic numeral formatting
- Voicemail system prompts
- End-user collaboration portals
Developed under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Program, this package aligns with GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) specifications for Arabic-language telecommunications interfaces and includes SHA-512 cryptographic validation for enhanced security.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional Linguistic Compliance
- Implements ISO/IEC 8859-6:2025 Arabic character encoding standards
- Supports Oman-specific configurations:
- Phone number validation with +968 country code
- Localized emergency service labels (“الشرطة 9999” with geolocation tagging)
2. Multi-Layer Security Architecture
- Layer 1: Digitally signed using Cisco Secure Boot Framework v4.3
- Layer 2: SHA-512 checksum verification for tamper-proof validation
- Layer 3: FIPS 140-3 compliant cluster synchronization
3. System Optimization
- Fixes bidirectional text rendering issues in CUCM 12.5(1)SU10’s Bulk Administration Tool
- Resolves Hijri calendar synchronization errors in CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR)
4. Protocol Modernization
- Replaces deprecated H.323 gatekeeper controls with SIP trunk compatibility
- Integrates with Cisco Prime Collaboration 13.1 for centralized management
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Platforms | Minimum CUCM Version | Required Dependencies |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco UCS C240 M7 Servers | 12.5(1)SU9 | Cisco Prime Collaboration 13.1 |
