21 Getting Started with Apptix Hosted Exchange / BES Enterprise Activation Page 21 of 32 Setup Instruction for Mobile Device Connection to Exchange BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) BlackBerry is a proprietary wireless service that allows BlackBerry users to obtain their mailbox data wirelessly to a BlackBerry device via the BlackBerry network. There are two forms of BlackBerry data services: 1) BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS): Provides ONLY service through your wireless carrier s network. The BIS only service does NOT synch fully with your Outlook Profile and is typically not push delivery of . 2) BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES): Synchronizes ALL of your primary Exchange mailbox folders ( , Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Tasks) through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server in real time. This is the primary BlackBerry service provided through Exchange services and it requires that the BES data plan be turned on for your cellular account by your wireless carrier. NOTE: Because there are several different versions of the BlackBerry handheld devices, we cannot document the setup configuration screens for each device. The instructions that follow are the standard setup options though the screen and menu configuration may differ slightly from device to device. For example, on some devices the Options icon/menu may be called Settings, etc. IMPORTANT: In September 2010 RIM introduced a new class of BlackBerry devices that utilized touch-screen navigation via their new BlackBerry 6.0 Operating System. These devices include the Torch and several of the updates to the 9300 Series plus many additional future models. The instructions that follow provide the instruction for both the Classic BlackBerry 5.0 devices that are click-wheel/trackball navigation devices, and are followed by instruction for the BlackBerry 6.0 and newer touch-screen navigation devices. The menu structures/options are quite different on the newer touch-screen 6.0 devices from the Classic BlackBerry models. You will need to determine which type of BlackBerry device you own (Classic or Touch-Screen/6.0) in order to determine which set of instructions to follow for the Enterprise Activation. Additional Setup Instruction You can find detailed instruction, including screen captures, from the following Mobility Setup Guide: Mobility Setup Guide BlackBerry (BES)

22 Getting Started with Apptix Hosted Exchange / BES Enterprise Activation Page 22 of 32 BlackBerry Enterprise (BES) Activation After the BES service has been ordered for a User s mailbox, the User will receive a Welcome to BlackBerry with instructions for connecting their mailbox to the BES server via the BlackBerry Enterprise Activation which is to be performed on the BlackBerry handheld device itself. Make sure you have the BES data plan activated on your wireless account before performing the BlackBerry Enterprise Activation. BES service transmits more data plus Contact, Calendar, Notes and Tasks (CCNT) and is therefore a distinct data plan separate from the carrier s default BIS data plan. Contact your wireless provider to insure that you are enabled with the BES data plan if you are having issues with BlackBerry Enterprise Activation. NOTE: If you are coming from Exchange and currently connect to BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) with a current Exchange Solution, prior to the activation to Apptix s new BES you will be required to wipe your blackberry device. We recommend before performing this action that you utilize your Desktop Manager software and backup your information. Additionally, you will need to ensure you have the Enterprise Data plan through your Wireless Carrier prior to attempting to activate to Apptix s BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Classic BlackBerry Handhelds BlackBerry 5.0 and Earlier 1. From your Home screen select the Options icon/menu (Icons may be different depending on theme in this example Options is a wrench icon) 2.

The device will display 100% Activated when the BES Enterprise Activation is complete. 4. Access your Messages, Contacts, Calendar, etc. to review that your mailbox data has been synched to the BlackBerry device. IMPORTANT NOTE: MUST be flowing to the User s Exchange mailbox in order to complete the Enterprise Activation as the process uses to kick off the activation: The device PIN is sent to the address entered in step 3 above via This is sent to the Exchange mailbox and replicated on the BES server. The password entered in step 3 above must match the password entered on the BES. If your mailbox is full or if MX Records are not pointing correctly, or there is any other reason that is not reaching your mailbox, the BES Enterprise Activation will fail.

24 Getting Started with Apptix Hosted Exchange / Troubleshooting BES Activations Page 24 of 32 Troubleshooting BES Activations If you are having difficulty getting your BlackBerry device to connect and communicate with your Exchange mailbox using the Enterprise Activation, do the following as standard steps for troubleshooting: 1. Contact your IT Admin to make sure that your mailbox has been enabled to communicate using BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES). If your mailbox has not been enabled for BlackBerry Services from the ARS Control Panel, the activation of the mobile device will fail. Determine if the User has been setup for BES activation: Hosting Exchange Wireless Services BlackBerry Make sure the User has BlackBerry activated and note the EA password Optionally, if no BlackBerry resources are available, they can be ordered from Billing Add Resources. 2. Make sure your wireless carrier has enabled your account with a BlackBerry Enterprise (BES) data plan. The phone carriers provide BIS data by default to their BlackBerry customers and therefore often do not properly setup the BES plan for Enterprise customers. Phone carrier customer support is notorious for not understanding the difference between BIS and BES and you may have to be very persistent/incessant that they fully check for the BES plan on your account. Check on your device to make sure that you have entries in the Host Routing Table (Options Advanced Options Host Routing Table). You should have several entries in the table with the name of your wireless provider. If no entries are present then your account is not activated with a BES data plan. 3. Make sure that your mobile device is online and has a strong data signal. The device can have either a wireless or a data connection from your wireless carrier (3G, etc), but at least one of the online services must be active in order to setup the device. 4. Double check the data entry of your and enterprise activation PIN/password when setting up your device. It is easy to mis type one of these inputs which will cause the configuration to fail.

25 Getting Started with Apptix Hosted Exchange / Wiping a BlackBerry Device Page 25 of 32 Wiping a BlackBerry Device It is not uncommon for companies to swap their BlackBerry devices between employees. Additionally, it is not uncommon for an employee s BlackBerry to stop communicating with the BES server. In either case, a security wipe may be required prior to re-connecting the BlackBerry device to an Exchange mailbox using the BlackBerry Enterprise Activation procedure. IMPORTANT: Do NOT wipe your device if you are not sure what you are doing as this will erase all of the data on your BlackBerry device.

27 Getting Started with Apptix Hosted Exchange / ActiveSync Introduction Page 27 of 32 Setup Instruction for Mobile Device Connection to Exchange ActiveSync ActiveSync (aka Windows Mobile) is the wireless service built into Exchange for communicating with Smart Phones. Initially, this pertained primarily to mobile devices with the Windows Mobile 5 or 6 operating system in the early 2000 s. However, the Smart Phone category has evolved greatly in the last several years to include mobile operating systems that include ios (Apple s mobile platform for iphones, ipod Touch and ipad), Google s Android OS which is licensed to several different handset manufacturers, WebOS which runs on HP/Palm Pre and Pixi devices (and possibly on future HP mobile devices), current Windows Mobile 6.5 and future Windows Phone 7 phones, and several other devices that license ActiveSync from Microsoft in order to provide wireless communication to the Exchange enterprise platform which is ubiquitous in the business community. Smart Phones with an operating system of Windows Mobile 6, or later, typically synch , contacts, calendar, and tasks with an Exchange mailbox. The features associated with ActiveSync enabled phones may differ depending upon the phone device itself or the nature of the licensing agreement for utilizing ActiveSync. General Settings for ActiveSync Because of the popularity of Exchange, mobile ActiveSync has been licensed to a multitude of handset manufacturers and mobile Operating Systems. The numbers of ActiveSync compatible devices are too many to document in totality, and the exact settings or menu options will vary from device to device, but the setup requirements are pretty standard requiring the following information. Your address Domain: Collaboration (The domain of the Apptix Exchange server not your domain) Username: Your ID or Username (Ex: @yourdomain.com) Password: Your password (case sensitive) Description: You can enter any information you would like in this field.( Ex: Display Name). Server: mobile.collaborationhost.net Making Sure Your Mailbox is ActiveSync Enabled ActiveSync must be enabled for each User s Exchange mailbox in order to synchronize data wirelessly from your Exchange mailbox to a mobile handset that allows for Exchange communication via ActiveSync. If this option is not turned on, then you will not have any success setting up the mobile handset. 1.
