Permit a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to connect to a remote BlackBerry Router
If you installed a BlackBerry® Router on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts a BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server, you must permit the BlackBerry Dispatcher that you installed with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
to connect to the BlackBerry Router. The BlackBerry Router that you installed on a separate computer can send data
packets from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to BlackBerry devices.
1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Router, click Start > Run.
2. Type regedit.
3. Click OK.
4. Perform one of the following actions:
• If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows®, navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research
In Motion.
• If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows, navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\WOW6432Node \Research In Motion.
5. Change the value of AllowRemoteServices to 1.
6. If you want to change the port number that the BlackBerry Router uses to open connections to the BlackBerry
Dispatcher, change the value of ServicePort to the port number that the BlackBerry Router should use, for
example, port number 80. By default, the port number is 3101.
7. In the Windows Services, restart the BlackBerry Router service.
Connect a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to a remote BlackBerry Router
1. In the BlackBerry® Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution
topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
2. Click the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instance or BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair that you want to assign the
BlackBerry Router to.
3. Click Edit instance.
4. In the Router address section, type the FQDN of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Router.
5. If the BlackBerry Router uses a port number other than port number 3101, in the Port override field, type the
port number.
6. Click the Add icon.
7. Click Save All.
8. Restart the BlackBerry Enterprise Server using one of the following methods:
• If you changed a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance, on the Instance tab, click Restart instance.
• If you changed a BlackBerry Enterprise Server pair, click one of the instances and on the Instance tab, click
Restart instance. Repeat this step for the other instance.
• In the Windows® Services, restart the BlackBerry Dispatcher.
