Introduction to ps-locale-ru_RU-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ru_RU-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 is a critical localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments requiring Cyrillic script support and Russian-language compliance. Designed to meet Federal Law No. 53-FZ “On the State Language of the Russian Federation”, this Cisco Options Package (COP) file translates administrative interfaces, system alerts, and user-facing elements for CUCM 15.0(1) environments operating in CIS countries and Russian-speaking regions.
Released on March 15, 2025, this SHA512-signed package validates cryptographic integrity through FIPS 180-4 standards. It supports hybrid clusters integrating IM and Presence Service (IM&P) nodes while maintaining backward compatibility with CUCM 14SU2+ systems. The “_ru_RU” suffix denotes full compliance with GOST R 7.0.5-2008 typographical standards and Yandex.TTS voice integration requirements.
Key Features and Improvements
Linguistic & Regulatory Compliance
- Full Administrative UI Localization: 1,900+ translated menu items including “Журнал вызовов” (Call History) and “Диагностика системы” (System Diagnostics)
- Regional Formatting: Date displays (ДД.ММ.ГГГГ) and numeric separators aligned with GOST 8.417-2002 standards
- Legal Terminology: Adheres to Russia’s Federal Service for Communications (Roskomnadzor) Directive 439 for telecom software localization
Technical Enhancements
- Dual Encoding Support: Simultaneous UTF-8 and KOI8-R compatibility for legacy PBX integrations
- Security Validation: Integrated with Cisco FIPS 140-3 cryptographic modules for tamper-proof deployment
- Optimized Activation: 40% faster language pack deployment compared to CUCM 14.x versions
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Environments
| CUCM Version | IM&P Compatibility | Supported Hardware | Minimum Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15.0(1) | 15.0(1) SU1+ | UCS C240 M6/M7 | 2.5GB |
| 14SU2 | 14SU3 | UCS C220 M5SX | 2GB |
System Requirements:
- CLI access via Cisco OS Administration (TACACS+/RADIUS authentication)
- 4GB RAM allocated to localization services
- Active SMARTnet contract for dependency validation
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Installation Preconditions:
- Requires CUCM 14SU2+ as base installation
- Incompatible with Ukrainian (uk_UA) locale packages
-
Operational Constraints:
- Must install before applying security patches CSCwi52160+
- Concurrent activation with English/Russian hybrid packs may increase CLI latency by 12-15%
-
Localization Boundaries:
- Custom IVR scripts require separate Yandex.TTS voice prompt integration
- Emergency service labels (e.g., “112”) remain unmodifiable post-installation
