Our web page that describes how Epicenter Server can update BlackBerry devices shows how updates are distributed using BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), but does not say anything about updates using BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).
It’s not possible to distribute updates wirelessly through BIS, but BIS users can get updates through the USB cradle. Here’s how it works:
- When you configure Epicenter Server, select “Attachment” updates instead of “Exchange” updates.
- Updates will be sent via email. Users who receive updates must be running Microsoft Outlook.
- When users receives an update, they must double click the attachment to update their local address book.
- Finally, each user synchronizes the BB using the USB cradle.
