***Applies to BES with Microsoft Exchange server. Should work with anything though. ***
**** Backup your Device I did not lose any info but you may. ****
Hello All,
Just thought I would post this to help anybody out there that wishes to use a XDA to connect to a BES 4.0 Server.
Goto your BES server and add the user from the global address list.
Right, First of all you need to unlock the Handset using the software found on this site.
You will then need to phone up vodafone and get a Sim card that is Blackberry enabled (Enterprise version V.Important to connect to BES) also need a spare licence for you BES but I was told by a voda engineer that this does not matter it is only your conscience that should make you buy the CAL (Client Access licences). I am fully licenced by the way.
Uninstall blackberry connect on the XDA then stick in your Vodafone sim card.
Go into system and reinstall it. It will ask you if you want your calender sync'd and a few other question but click straight through.
Delete the Pairings on active sync and then sync the xda with the computer.
Download and install the Blackberry active sync configuration tool.
Make sure the XDA is in the cradle and go into the configuration tool.
Click the connect button down the bottom. This will go off and tell you BES server its PIN code which will be very different from your normal Blackberries. It will also ask you to do the wireless calender update(Delete) on device. This is o.k.
Active sync may want to sync at the same time. Let it do it. Go a make a cup of tea as if you have a busy calender it will take a while.
Once this is done take your XDA out of its cradle and the click on the blackberry connect icon.
Things to check.
* You have Blackberry {ALP} , {CICAL} and {CMIME} in the service.
* Click on CMIME and goto the Sync tab. Tick the Enable wireless syncronisation and change to mailbox wins and delete on mailbox and handheld.
* Check that the tickbox on wireless calender
This should be it. Any questions? Repost and I will give you any help I can.
Oh Vodafone only support BBConnect on the Nokia communicators (and one other) at the moment but I know it works on XDA's.
Going to call vodafone data support and tell them the good news.
