2 Introduction 92
For a Home Network Server (hNS) to operationally support a LoRaWAN end-device, it 93
needs to be provisioned with the Device Profile describing capabilities and boot parameters 94
specific to the end-device. 95
96
Today's absence of a standard, automated way of provisioning Device Profile information to 97
the hNS means end-device profile information is populated via proprietary interfaces or 98
manually. 99
100
This specification describes a standard interface which enables the hNS to download a 101
Device Profile from a server, hereafter called the Device Profile Server (DPS). The 102
normative specification of the interface is described as an OpenAPI Definition [OAD]. 103
104
Details regarding how Device Profiles are populated to one or more instances of a DPS are 105
beyond the scope of this specification. 106
