Permit a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to connect to a remote BlackBerry Router

If you installed a BlackBerry Router on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you must permit the BlackBerry Dispatcher that you installed with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to connect to the BlackBerry Router. The BlackBerry Router that you installed on a separate computer can send data packets from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to BlackBerry devices.
  1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Router, click Start > Run.
  2. Type regedit.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Perform one of the following actions:
    • If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerryRouter.
    • If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows, navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node \Research In Motion\BlackBerryRouter.
  5. Verify the value of AllowRemoteServices is 1.
  6. If you want to change the port number that the BlackBerry Router uses to open connections to the BlackBerry Dispatcher, change the value of ServicePort to the port number that the BlackBerry Router should use, for example, port number 80. By default, the port number is 3101.
  7. In the Windows Services, restart the BlackBerry Router service.
