The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

You can use the Software Upgrades options to perform the following types of installations and upgrades:
•Install/Upgrade—Use this option to upgrade the application software.
•Upload TFTP Server Files—Use this option to upload various device files for use by the phones to the TFTP server. The TFTP server files that you can upload include custom phone rings, callback tones, and phone backgrounds.
The Software Upgrade windows enable you to upgrade the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System software from either a local or a remote source.
The software upgrade process also enables you to back out of an upgrade if problems occur. You install the software for the upgrade on the system inactive partition and perform a restart to switch the system to the newer version of the software. During this process, the upgraded software becomes the active partition, and your current software becomes the inactive partition. Your configuration information migrates automatically to the upgraded version in the active partition.
If for any reason you decide to back out of the upgrade, you can restart the system to the inactive partition that contains the older version of the software. However, any configuration changes that you made since upgrading the software will be lost.
Starting with Cisco Unified CallManager version 5.0(4), CAPF uses the Certificate Manager Infrastructure to manage its certificates and keys. Because of this, when you upgrade to version 5.0(4), CAPF keys and certificates are automatically regenerated. You must then rerunning the CTL Client application to upgrade the CTL file. For information on using CAPF with Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0(4), refer to the Cisco Unified CallManager Security Guide.

You can install dial plan 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.
After the dial plan files are installed on the system, log in to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration and then navigate to Call Routing>Dial Plan Installer to complete installing the dial plans.
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.
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.
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
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.
For a list of products that Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installers support, see the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer for Cisco CallManager 5.0, which is available at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/callmgr-locale-50
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.

You can use the Upload TFTP Server File option to upload various files for use by the phones to the server. Files that you can upload include custom phone rings, callback tones, and backgrounds. This option uploads files only to the specific server to which you connected, and other nodes in the cluster do not get upgraded.
Files upload into the tftp directory by default. You can also upload files to a subdirectory of the tftp directory.
To upload TFTP server files, follow this procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 From the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window, navigate to Software Upgrades>Upload TFTP Server File.
The Upload TFTP Server File window displays and shows a listing of the current uploaded files.
Step 2 To upload a file, click Browse and then choose the file that you want to upload.
Step 3 To upload the file to a subdirectory of the tftp directory, enter the subdirectory in the Subdirectory of the tftp directory where file will be uploaded field.
Step 4 To start the upload, click Upload File.
The Status area indicates when the file uploads successfully.
Note If you want to modify a file that is already in the TFTP directory, you can use the CLI command file list tftp to see the files in the TFTP directory and file get tftp to get a copy of a file in the TFTP directory. For more information, see "Command Line Interface."
