profile

Profile management, you can list, set alias (nickname), enable, disable, delete, download and discovery Profiles.

  subcommand:
    list      enumerates your eUICC Profile
    nickname  sets an alias for the specified Profile
              Example: lpac profile nickname <ICCID of Profile> <alias>
    enable    enables the specified Profile. The RefreshFlag status is enabled by default and can be omitted.
              Example: lpac profile enable <ICCID/AID of Profile> [1/0]

    delete    deletes the specified Profile
              Example: lpac profile delete <ICCID/AID of Profile>
    download  Download profile from SM-DP server
    discovery Detect available profile registered on SM-DS server

Note

Some eUICC chip have trouble when enable profile (e.g. These removeable eUICC cards from ECP), try AID, ICCID, refreshFlag with 1 or 0 to find out the working way for these chips.

There is no secondary confirmation for deleting a Profile, so please perform it with caution.

Note

This function will only delete the Profile and issue a Notification, but it will not be sent automatically. You need to send it manually.

Download requires connection to SM-DP+ server and the following additional parameters:

• -s: SM-DP+ server, optional, if not provided, it will try to read the default sm-dp+ attribute.
• -m: Matching ID, activation code. optional.
• -c: Confirmation Code, optional.
• -i: The IMEI of the device to which Profile is to be downloaded, optional.
• -a: LPA qrcode activation code string, e.g: LPA:1$<sm-dp+ domain>$<matching id>, if provided this option takes precedence over the -s and -m options, optional.

Example

./lpac profile download -s rsp.truphone.com -m "QR-G-5C-1LS-1W1Z9P7"

# LPA qrcode activation code string
./lpac profile download -a 'LPA:1$rsp.truphone.com$QR-G-5C-1LS-1W1Z9P7'

Discovery requires connecting to the SM-DS server to query registered profile

The following parameters can be used to customize the IMEI and SM-DS server:

• -s: SM-DS server. If not provided, it will be gsma official server "lpa.ds.gsma.com"
• -i: IMEI of the device to which Profile is to be downloaded, optional
