Other OMA DM specifications define how a management session is established and maintained. However, in order for a device to be able to initiate a management session it must be provisioned with OMA DM settings. Bootstrap is a process of provisioning the DM client to a state where it is able to initiate a management session to a new DM server. Bootstrap can move a device from an un-provisioned, empty state, to a state where it is able to initiate a management session to a DM server. DM clients that have already been bootstrapped can be further bootstrapped to enable the device to initiate a management session to new DM servers.
