Configure WEP keys for BlackBerry devices using a Wi-Fi profile

If BlackBerry device users in your organization's environment use BlackBerry 7270 smartphones, you must configure WEP keys using IT policy rules instead of configuration settings.

Before you begin: Obtain the WEP keys for the wireless access point. For more information, see the documentation for the access point.
  1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the BlackBerry solution management menu, expand Policy > Wi-Fi configuration.
  2. Click Manage Wi-Fi profiles.
  3. Click the name of the Wi-Fi profile that you want to change.
  4. Click Edit profile.
  5. On the Wi-Fi profile settings tab, configure the values for the following configuration settings:
    • Wi-Fi WEP Key 1
    • Wi-Fi WEP Key 2
    • Wi-Fi WEP Key 3
    • Wi-Fi WEP Key 4
  6. Click Save All.
After you finish:
  • For more information about configuration settings, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Policy Reference Guide.
  • Assign the Wi-Fi profile to the user accounts.
  • Resend the IT policy that you assign to the user accounts to Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices.
