Route the BlackBerry Browser through the BlackBerry MDS Simulator

Before BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator 6.0, the BlackBerry MDS Simulator was required for the BlackBerry Browser to connect to a website. In version 6.0 and later, the BlackBerry Browser connects directly to a website. However, you can continue to route your BlackBerry Browser connections through the BlackBerry MDS Simulator to use a proxy server or its logging capabilities.

1. Append the parameter /app-param=MdsIP=xxx.x.x.x, to the batch file or command that you use to start the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator, where xxx.x.x.x is the IP address of the computer that is running the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator (for example 192.0.2.0).

2. Start the BlackBerry MDS Simulator and wait for it to finish loading.

3. Start the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator.

4. On the home screen, click Manage Connections.

5. Clear the Wi-Fi check box.

6. On the home screen, open Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Service Book.

7. Delete the TCP service books that are listed (these may not exist in all simulators):

   a) Highlight the service book.

   b) Press the Menu key.

   c) Click Delete.

8. Start the BlackBerry Browser.
