Creating and configuring a VoIP profile

To create a VoIP profile, you configure the VPN configuration settings (for example, the SIP user names and passwords and SIP realm that the BlackBerry® device can use) on a BlackBerry device or on the BlackBerry Administration Service using a VoIP profile or IT policy. If a user account has a VoIP profile, you can associate the VoIP profile with the Wi-Fi® profile for the user account so that the BlackBerry device can connect to the enterprise Wi-Fi network using the VoIP profile information.

Depending on your organization's security policy, you can save a user name and password to a BlackBerry device to prevent the BlackBerry device from prompting the user for the login information the first time (or each time) that the BlackBerry device connects to the enterprise Wi-Fi network.
