Locale Installation
Cisco provides locale-specific versions of the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer on
www.cisco.com. Installed by the system administrator, the locale installer allows the user to view/receive
the chosen translated text or tones, if applicable, when a user works with supported interfaces.
User Locales
User locale files provide translated text and voice prompts, if available, for phone displays, user
applications, and user web pages in the locale that the user chooses. User-only locale installers exist on
the web.
Network Locales
Network locale files provide country-specific phone tones and gateway tones, if available. Network-only
locale installers exist on the web.
Cisco may combine multiple network locales in a single locale installer.
Note The Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) or Cisco-approved, customer-provided server can support
multiple locales. Installing multiple locale installers ensures that the user can choose from a multitude
of locales.
Changes do not take effect until you reboot every server in the cluster. Cisco strongly recommends that
you do not reboot the servers until you have installed all locales on all servers in the cluster. Minimize
call-processing interruptions by rebooting the servers after regular business hours.
Installing Locales
You can install locale files from either a local or a remote source by using the same process that is
described earlier in this chapter for installing software upgrades. See Software Upgrade and Installation
for more information about this process.
Note To activate the newly installed locales, you must restart the server.
See Locale Files for information on the locale files that you must install. You can install more than one
locale before you restart the server.
Locale Files
When installing locales, you must install both the following files:
• User Locale files—Contain language information for a specific language and country and use the
following convention:
cm-locale-language-country-version.cop
• Combined Network Locale file—Contains country-specific files for all countries for various
network items, including phone tones, annunciators, and gateway tones. The combined network
locale file uses the following naming convention:
cm-locale-combinednetworklocale-version.cop
Error Messages
See Table 7-1 for a description of the error messages that can occur during Locale Installer activation.
If an error occurs, you can view the error messages in the installation log.

Caveats
See the following caveats and refer to the latest version of the Cisco Unified CallManager release notes
for caveats that are specific to the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer.
English_United_States phrases and voice prompts display after the installation completes.
This situation causes no problems in your cluster. You may not have the latest locale installer that is
available on the web. Furthermore, Cisco may choose to update the Cisco Unified CallManager database
and not immediately update the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer.
Attempt to install the locale installer on all servers again. If English_United_States phrases or voice
prompts display, wait until an updated version of the locale installer displays on the web. Download and
install the updated version of the locale installer.
Note Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool voice prompts and Cisco Non-IOS gateway network tones do not
fall back to English_United_States.
Cisco Unified CallManager only supports the English character set in the User area of Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration.
After you download the locale installer, you can display field names in the User area of
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration in your chosen language. However,
Cisco Unified CallManager only supports the English character set, also known as ISO-Latin1 or
ISO-8859-1, in the fields and in all user accounts and passwords that are needed to access these windows.
If a user enters data that is not in the English character set, a dialog box displays and states that the user
must enter data from the English character set.
You can choose different phone and gateway tones for the system.
If you choose to use different network locales, make sure that you choose a network locale in the
parameters or the device pool that is supported by all gateway and phone device types that use the locale
installer.
You cannot uninstall a locale or the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer.
No option exists to modify, repair, or remove the locale or the locale installer. Running the locale
installer multiple times results in a reinstallation of the locale, as if it is not already installed on the
server.
You must reinstall the locale installer after you perform restoration procedures.
The Cisco Unified Communications Applications Server Restore Utility does not restore the locale
installer.
Cisco does not support the localization of speed dials or the Personal Address Book on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
Speed Dial and Personal Address Book text displays in English only.

This chapter describes the utility functions that are available on the operating system, which include
pinging another system and setting up remote support.
Ping
The Ping Utility window enables you to ping another server in the network.
To ping another system, follow this procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 From the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window, navigate to
Services>Ping.
The Ping Remote window displays.
Step 2 Enter the IP address or network name for the system that you want to ping.
Step 3 Enter the ping interval in seconds.
Step 4 Enter the packet size.
Step 5 Enter the ping count, the number of times that you want to ping the system.
Note When you specify multiple pings, the ping command does not display the ping date and time in
real time. Be aware that the Ping command displays the data after the number of pings that you
specified complete.
Remote Support
From the Remote Account Support window, you can set up a remote account that Cisco support
personnel can use to access the system for a specified period of time.
The remote support process works like this:
1. The customer sets up a remote support account. This account includes a configurable time limit on
how long Cisco personnel can access it.
2. When the remote support account is set up, a pass phrase gets generated.
3. The customer calls Cisco support and provides the remote support account name and pass phrase.
4. Cisco support enters the pass phrase into a decoder program that generates a password from the pass
phrase.
5. Cisco support logs into the remote support account on the customer system by using the decoded
password.
6. When the account time limit expires, Cisco support can no longer access the remote support account.
To set up remote support, follow this procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 From the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window, navigate to
Services>Remote Support.
The Remote Support Window displays.
Step 2 If no remote support account is configured, click Add.
Step 3 Enter an account name for the remote account and the account life in days.
Note The account name must be at least six-characters long and all lowercase, alphabetic characters.
Field Description
Decoder version Indicates the version of the decoder in use.
Account name Displays the name of the remote support account.
Expires Displays the date and time when access to the remote account expires.
Pass phrase Displays the generated pass phrase.
Overview
This appendix describes commands that you can use on the Cisco IPT Platform to perform basic
operating system functions. The Cisco IPT Platform Administration GUI application also makes these
functions available. Typically you would use the command-line interface (CLI) only when a problem
occurs while you are using the Cisco IPT Platform Administration interface.
CLI Basics
The following section contains basic tips for using the command line interface.
Completing Commands
To complete commands, use Tab:
• Enter the start of a command and press Tab to complete the command. For example, if you enter se
and press Tab, set gets completed.
• Enter a full command name and press Tab to display all the commands or subcommands that are
available. For example, if you enter set and press Tab, you see all the set subcommands. An *
identifies the commands that have subcommands.
• If you reach a command, keep pressing Tab, and the current command line repeats; this indicates
that no additional expansion is available.
Procedure
