Blackberry Version 5.0 Service Pack 4 Install a standalone BlackBerry Router

Install a standalone BlackBerry Router

A standalone BlackBerry Router is a BlackBerry Router that is hosted by a computer that does not host any other

BlackBerry Enterprise Server components except the BlackBerry Controller. The BlackBerry Controller monitors the

BlackBerry Router and restarts the BlackBerry Router if it stops responding.

Note: You cannot manage the BlackBerry Controller that monitors a standalone BlackBerry Router in the BlackBerry

Administration Service. You must manage the BlackBerry Controller in the BlackBerry Configuration Panel on the

computer that hosts the standalone BlackBerry Router.

1. Log in to the computer using the Windows account that you want to use to run the BlackBerry Router.

2. In the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files, double-click Setup.exe. If your operating system is Windows

Server 2008, run setup.exe as an administrator.

3. In the Setup type dialog box, select Install a standalone BlackBerry Router.

4. When you receive a prompt, do not start the BlackBerry Router service until you configure the BlackBerry Router to

connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

To make sure that the BlackBerry Router can connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure, you can test the connection using

the BBSRPTest tool that is included with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation files. The BBSRPTest tool tries to

connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure using the SRP address and SRP port that you specified for the BlackBerry

Infrastructure during the BlackBerry Router installation process.

1. On the computer that you want to test the connection to the BlackBerry Infrastructure on, at a command prompt,

navigate to <drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

2. Type bbsrptest <srp_address> -<port>, where <srp_address> is the SRP address that you provided during the

installation process and <port> is the SRP port number. For example, at the command line, type bbsrptest.exe –host

server1.example.com –port 3101.

After you finish: If the test does not complete, use the Windows Socket (WINSOCK) error code to diagnose the problem.
