Testing BlackBerry Enterprise Server APIs and IT policies

The BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator can connect to an account on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you have access to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you can simulate all the functionality that is available when connecting a BlackBerry device to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Use this option to simulate use of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Extension Application Programming Interface (API), and applied IT policies. This option requires knowledge of BlackBerry Enterprise Server administration, and introduces network dependency to testing. You will not require a BlackBerry MDS Simulator or a BlackBerry Email Simulator.

Test a BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server

Before you begin: The BlackBerry Enterprise Server that you have an account on must be running.
  1. Start the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator.
  2. In Manage Connections clear the Wi-Fi check box.
  3. From the taskbar, click Start > Programs > BlackBerry > BlackBerry Desktop Software.
  4. From the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator taskbar, click Simulate > USB Cable Connected.
  5. In the BlackBerry Desktop Software, click Get started with this device.
  6. Follow the instructions to generate a new encryption key.
  7. If the Initial Plug-in: Verifying Applications dialog box appears, click Cancel.
After you finish: When the initial synchronization with the computer is complete, the enterprise activation starts. After the enterprise activation, you can simulate use of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Extension API, applied IT policies, email traffic, browser traffic, HTTP/TCP connections, BlackBerry Application Mobility Suite, and push functionality.
