Option 3: Activating BlackBerry devices over the LAN

Users can activate BlackBerry devices by connecting them to computers that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is associated with. During the activation process, the BlackBerry Desktop Manager prompts users to associate the BlackBerry devices with their work email accounts and generate encryption keys.

When users complete the activation process, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends email messages and organizer data to the BlackBerry devices through the BlackBerry Router. If a connection to the BlackBerry Router is interrupted, the data transfer continues over the wireless network.
