About synchronizing Wi-Fi and VPN profiles

When you connect your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to your BlackBerry smartphone using BlackBerry Bridge, your saved Wi-Fi profiles and VPN profiles on your smartphone are automatically added to your tablet to make connecting to the networks you use easier. Then, when you use your tablet in a Wi-Fi coverage area where you've previously used your smartphone, your tablet connects to the access point.

For security reasons, Wi-Fi profiles and VPN profiles that are associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server are not synchronized. Passwords for secure networks are also not synchronized.

If a profile requires a client authentication certificate, you must import the certificate manually.

Tip: You can edit your network profiles to reorder how quickly your tablet attempts to connect to a network or to add other information, such as passwords for secure networks.

About using BlackBerry Bridge in your organization

•You can only open files on your smartphone through the Files application or from an email attachment.

•You can't save files that you create in a work perimeter into a personal perimeter.

•You can't copy and paste information from a work perimeter to a personal perimeter.

•You can browse your organization's intranet only if your administrator has turned on corporate intranet browsing.
