Configuring BlackBerry Push Settings

Create a new BlackBerry Push Service configuration that specifies the delivery method for the service users.

BlackBerry push notifications use SMS-based push to alert offline users to the availability of new items awaiting retrieval on Unwired Server. SMS-based push uses an IP connection only long enough for the Send/Receive data exchange to complete. The feature overcomes network issues with always-on connectivity and battery life consumption on 3G networks.

  1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Servers folder and select a server.
  2. Select Server Configuration.
  3. In the Messaging tab, select BlackBerry Push Configuration.
  4. Click New.
  5. Enter the Name of the configuration.
  6. Enter the URL of the delivery service host.
  7. (Optional) Enter a User name and Password required to access the URL. Confirm the password.
  8. Select BES delivery. BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses an e-mail service provided by a server ran by a company to deliver messages. If using BES, you can also enable the Push Access Protocol (PAP) if you are using a Push Proxy Gateway to deliver messages.
  9. Click OK.
