Prerequisites
Summary
|
Before activating a BlackBerry device, please contact the appropriate wireless carrier and confirm that BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) are activate. This is different from the BlackBerry Internet Service, which comes by default with BlackBerrys. Without the BlackBerry Enterprise Service activated by a carrier, BES services through ITSN will not work. Please note, before activating a BlackBerry device with any new hosting provider it is always a good idea to perform a reset, or system wipe, on the device. After confirming active BES services with the wireless provider, it now becomes necessary to verify that a new BlackBerry user can be created. This is determined by examining the total services purchased (quota), vs. the active users of the service, to determine the available allotment. The available allotment must be greater than or equal to what will be created. The allotment must not surpass the quota, and either display a yellow, or green bar: If the quota is at capacity, or there is no available allotment, a red bar will be displayed: For maxed quotas read the support article Add Hosted Services on how to add a new BlackBerry sync service. |
