Feature Description
wireless delivery When you configure an IT policy, all rules take effect when the BlackBerry
Policy Service delivers the IT policy to a BlackBerry device over the wireless
network. The BlackBerry device stores new IT policy rule values in the user
configurations on the BlackBerry device automatically.
To keep the IT policy rules current, a BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends the
IT policy to the BlackBerry device over the wireless network periodically.
IT policy coverage When you add a user account to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the
BlackBerry Policy Service applies the Default IT policy to the user account
automatically. The user account is not active on the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server until a BlackBerry device accepts the IT policy.
You can apply a different IT policy to a user account. If you delete an IT policy
that you applied to a user account, the BlackBerry Policy Service applies the
user account to the Default IT policy automatically.
IT policy assignment You can apply an IT policy to a group or an individual user account.
resend options If a BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot send an updated IT policy to a
BlackBerry device immediately (for example, if a user is outside of a wireless
coverage area), you can resend the IT policy manually or configure when the
BlackBerry Policy Service resends the IT policy. The BlackBerry Enterprise
Server
continues to resend the IT policy until it delivers the IT policy.
security enforcement You can configure IT polices that define security settings for BlackBerry
devices, the BlackBerry Desktop Software and the BlackBerry Web Desktop
Manager, and that override security settings that users define on their
BlackBerry devices. For example, you can configure whether a password is
required for a
BlackBerry device, the length of time that the password can
exist before it becomes invalid, and the length and composition of the
password. You can also use IT policies to specify encryption key details.
BlackBerry Router
The BlackBerry Router connects to the wireless network and sends data to and receives data from the BlackBerry
Infrastructure on behalf of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Router also sends data to and receives data
from BlackBerry devices that are connected to the BlackBerry Device Manager or a Wi-Fi network. The BlackBerry Device
Manager is included with the BlackBerry Device Software, BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager, and BlackBerry
Administration Service
