Russian locale for Cisco 7821 IP Phone
While configuring the Russian locale on CME, I came across a problem where 7821 phones would not switch to the Russian locale. Turns out these phones look for a localization file with a different alias than the one created by the CME router when the locale is loaded and extracted.
The default alias looks like this:
tftp-server flash:its/russia_sp-sip.jar alias SIP_Russian_Russia/sp-sip.jar
We need to add an additional alias like this:
tftp-server flash:its/russia_sp-sip.jar alias SIP_Russian_Russian_Federation/sp-sip.jar
The full Cisco Unified Communications Locale Installer for Cisco Unified Communications Manager must be installed prior to installation of a Phone Only locale installer.
Yep, you’re correct, but this is a Call Manager Express here
In other words, we do not have Phone Only Locale Installer release for every FW release when it is not necessary.
