Configure download limits for media content types

You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instances in your organization's environment to limit the size of media content that BlackBerry device users can download to BlackBerry devices during each connection. Each request for data that the device makes to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is a connection. If you do not configure a limit for media content types, the default values apply.
