  2. Click the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair that you created the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service or BlackBerry Collaboration Service pools for.
  3. Click Turn on automatic connections failover.
In the System status section, the value of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server connection failover mode field changes to True.
