Configuring Push Notifications for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Configure push notifications from Unwired Server to the BES using Sybase Control Center.

BlackBerry push notifications alert offline users to the availability of new items awaiting retrieval on Unwired Server. Push uses an IP connection only long enough for the Send/Receive data exchange to complete. BlackBerry Push notifications overcome issues with always-on connectivity and battery life consumption over wireless networks. You can also enable the Push Access Protocol (PAP) if you are using a Push Proxy Gateway to deliver messages.

You configure the notifications for each BES.

Log into Sybase Control Center.
Expand Servers and select the appropriate server.
Select Server Configuration.
In the right administration pane, select the Messaging tab, then select the BlackBerry Push Notification tab.
Select New, then enter all applicable information.
The URL takes the format:
```
http://<DNS or IP address>:<port number>
```
The default port number is 8080.
