Prerequisites: Configuring a BlackBerry Router for BlackBerry device activations over the enterprise Wi-Fi network
- On the computer that you installed the BlackBerry Router, or on a remote computer, configure an SMTP service that the BlackBerry Router can use. For more information, see the documentation for the Windows Server.
- To restrict the BlackBerry Router so that it acts only as a gateway for BlackBerry device activations over the enterprise Wi-Fi network, on a computer that does not host a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, install a BlackBerry Router whose only purpose is to provide a connection to Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices over the enterprise Wi-Fi network. Configure the BlackBerry Router as part of a chain of BlackBerry Router instances and make sure that one or more BlackBerry Router instances in the chain can act as a gateway for other network traffic such as email messages, data, or calendar synchronization.
- Verify that the wireless access points can connect to the BlackBerry Router that you configured for BlackBerry device activations over the enterprise Wi-Fi network.
- Verify that each BlackBerry Enterprise Server can connect to a BlackBerry Router that you configured for BlackBerry device activations over the enterprise Wi-Fi network.
- Create a user account and activation password on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for each new BlackBerry device.
