Priority for connections that BlackBerry devices make over a Wi-Fi network
Wi-Fi®
enabled BlackBerry® devices connect over a Wi-Fi
network to the BlackBerry Router
or BlackBerry® Infrastructure
using the best possible connection or combination of available connections in the following order:
- connection to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or BlackBerry MDS Connection Service over a serial, USB, or Bluetooth® connection that uses the BlackBerry® Device Manager
- connection to the BlackBerry Router from a Wi-Fi network, with or without a VPN connection
- SSL connection through the Internet to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network
- connection to the BlackBerry Infrastructure provided by a wireless service provider that uses the GSM® network, EDGE network, or UMA
The order of connections assumes that all routes to the BlackBerry Router and Internet are available when the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices connect to the Wi-Fi network.
