Install a standalone BlackBerry Router in a UEM Cloud environment

The BlackBerry Router is an optional component that you can install in a DMZ outside your organization's firewall. The BlackBerry Router connects to the Internet to send data between the BlackBerry Connectivity Node and devices that use the BlackBerry Infrastructure. The BlackBerry Router functions as a proxy server and can support SOCKS v5 (no authentication).

You can configure multiple instances of the BlackBerry Router for high availability. You configure only one port for BlackBerry Router instances to listen on. By default, the BlackBerry Connectivity Node connects to the BlackBerry Router using port 3102. The BlackBerry Router supports all outbound traffic from the BlackBerry Connectivity Node components.

You must install a standalone BlackBerry Router on a computer that does not host an instance of the BlackBerry Connectivity Node.
  1. In the UEM management console, on the menu bar, click Settings > External integration > BlackBerry Connectivity Node setup.
  2. Click Add BlackBerry Connectivity Node icon.
  3. Click Download.
  4. On the software download page, answer the required questions and click Download. Save and extract the installation package.
  5. In the router folder, extract the setupinstaller .zip file. This .zip file contains an Installer folder with the Setup.exe file that you use to install the BlackBerry Router.
  6. Transfer the Setup.exe file to the computer that you want to install the BlackBerry Router on and double-click it to run the setup application.
    The installation runs in the background and displays no dialog boxes. Once the installation completes, the BlackBerry Router service appears in the Services window.
