Option 4: Activating BlackBerry devices using the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager

Users can activate their BlackBerry devices by connecting them to computers using a USB cable or Bluetooth connection and logging in to the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager. During the activation process, the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager prompts users to associate the BlackBerry device with their email accounts and generate encryption keys.

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