1. Introduction to ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512

This cryptographic hash file validates the integrity of Cisco’s Montenegrin-Serbian (sr_ME) localization package for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x systems. Designed for Balkan region deployments, it implements Cyrillic/Latin script support, ITU-T E.164 number formatting for Montenegro (+382 country code), and compliance with EKIP 2025-08 telecommunications regulations.

The SHA512 checksum ensures file authenticity during downloads, adhering to FIPS 180-4 cryptographic standards. Released on April 22, 2025, this version supports CUCM clusters running 14.0(1)SU7 or newer, with backward compatibility for hybrid 14.0.x environments.


2. Key Features and Improvements

2.1 Regional Compliance

  • Implements EKIP 2025-08 dual-script display requirements for government systems
  • Localizes 110+ voicemail prompts with Balkan Slavic dialect support
  • Supports dual calendar displays (Gregorian/Julian) in call logs

2.2 Security Enhancements

  • SHA512 hash validation prevents MITM attacks during OTA updates
  • Integrated with Cisco Trust Verification Module 3.5
  • Mandates AES-256 encryption for package transfers

2.3 Performance Optimization

  • 28% faster locale database initialization vs. 13.x versions
  • Memory footprint reduced to 24MB during active operations
  • Multi-threaded processing for clustered deployments

3. Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Platforms Minimum Version Hardware Specifications
CUCM Virtualization 14.0(1)SU7 8 vCPU / 32GB RAM
Cisco UCS C480 M7 14.0(4b) 1TB SSD storage
Cisco BE9000 14.0(3e) 25Gbps network interface

​Critical Dependencies:​

  • Cisco Unified OS 14.0(1) with Secure Boot enabled
  • Smart Licensing Tier 4 (Balkan Regional Pack)
  • Active TAC support contract for production environments

4. Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​Localization Scope​

    • Excludes third-party CRM interfaces (e.g., SAP CTI)
    • 85% of CUCM Administration Portal elements localized
  2. ​Deployment Constraints​

    • Requires cluster-wide service restart during installation
    • Incompatible with Greek/Turkish locale packs in same cluster
  3. ​Validation Requirements​

    • Mandatory SHA512 checksum verification via Cisco Unified OS Admin CLI
    • Smart Account with “Regional Localization Admin” privileges required

5. Secure Download Protocol

To obtain ​​ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​​ through authorized channels:

  1. ​License Authentication​
    Access Cisco Software Center with valid Smart Account credentials

  2. ​Integrity Verification​
    Validate SHA512 hash using OpenSSL command:

    bash复制
    openssl sha512 -c ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sgn  
  3. ​Certificate Chain Validation​
    Confirm Cisco-signed digital certificate using PowerShell:

    powershell复制
    Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath .\ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sgn
