Introduction to ps-locale-no_NO-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-no_NO-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512 file is an official localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems, designed to provide Norwegian (Bokmål) language support across administrative interfaces and user applications. This SHA512-signed Cisco Options Package (COP) ensures regional compliance for enterprises operating in Norway and other Nordic markets requiring ISO 8601 date/time formatting and localized directory services.
Released under Cisco’s Q3 2024 software maintenance cycle, this package enables:
- Norwegian-language GUI translations for CUCM 12.5.1
- Locale-specific keyboard input mappings
- Compliance with Norway’s data privacy regulations (GDPR Nordic Annex)
Key Technical Enhancements
This localization update introduces critical improvements for multinational deployments:
-
Unicode 15.0 Support
Implements full Bokmål character set rendering, including diacritical marks (e.g., æ/ø/å), through UTF-8 encoding optimized for Cisco IP Phones 8800 Series. -
Cryptographic Integrity Assurance
Uses SHA-512 hashing (FIPS 180-4 compliant) to prevent tampering during distribution. The embedded checksum verifies against Cisco’s signed manifest via the show version active CLI command. -
Resource Optimization
Reduces memory utilization by 22% compared to legacy localization packages through compressed translation libraries (12.5 MB → 9.8 MB per node). -
Multi-Platform Synchronization
Supports simultaneous deployment across CUCM, IM&P 12.5.1, and Cisco Unity Connection 12.5(1)SU1, ensuring consistent language displays in voicemail transcripts and meeting invites.
Compatibility Requirements
The software requires specific Cisco collaboration infrastructure configurations:
Component | Minimum Version | Hardware Requirements |
---|---|---|
CUCM | 12.5(1)SU2 | 50GB free disk space |
Cisco Prime Collaboration | 12.5(1) | 16GB RAM |
Cisco Unified Intelligence Center | 12.5(1) | Dual-core CPU |
Critical Notes:
- Incompatible with Cisco Expressway X14.1 or earlier due to TLS 1.2 protocol requirements
- Requires Cisco Smart Software Manager (SSM) account for license validation
Secure Acquisition Process
Authenticated IT administrators can obtain ps-locale-no_NO-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512 through Cisco’s authorized distribution channels. The file’s SHA512 checksum (a9f3d7...b82e1
) must match Cisco’s cryptographic manifest for installation eligibility.
