Install a standalone BlackBerry Router

The BlackBerry Router is an optional component that you can install in a DMZ outside of your organization's firewall. The BlackBerry Router connects to the Internet to send data between BlackBerry UEM and devices that use the BlackBerry Infrastructure. The BlackBerry Router functions as a proxy server and can support SOCKS v5 (no authentication). For more information about configuring the BlackBerry Router as a TCP proxy server, see the Configuration content.
  • Note that you must install a standalone BlackBerry Router on a computer that does not host any other UEM components.
  • The installer for the BlackBerry Router requires JRE 17.
  • If the server is not part of a domain, you must specify the service account credentials as server name\user. For more information about configuring the service account, see Configure permissions for the service account.
  1. On the computer where you want to install the BlackBerry Router, download and extract the UEM Installation file (.zip).
  2. In the router folder, extract the mdm.deployment.router zip file.
  3. In the Installer folder, double-click the Setup.exe file to install the BlackBerry Router.
    The installation runs in the background and displays no dialog boxes. Once the installation completes, the BlackBerry Router service appears in the Services window.
