Configuring 

BlackBerry UEM

 to send data through a proxy server

You can configure 

BlackBerry UEM

 to send data through a TCP proxy server or an instance of the 

BlackBerry Router

 before it reaches the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

.

By default, 

BlackBerry UEM

 connects directly to the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

 using port 3101. If your organization's security policy requires that internal systems cannot connect directly to the Internet, you can install the 

BlackBerry Router

 or a TCP proxy server. The 

BlackBerry Router

 or TCP proxy server acts as an intermediary between 

BlackBerry UEM

 and the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

.

You can install a 

BlackBerry Router

 or a proxy server outside your organization’s firewall in a DMZ. Installing the 

BlackBerry Router

 or a TCP proxy server in a DMZ provides an extra level of security for 

BlackBerry UEM

. Only the 

BlackBerry Router

 or the proxy server connects to 

BlackBerry UEM

 from outside the firewall. All connections to the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

 between 

BlackBerry UEM

 and devices go through the 

BlackBerry Router

 or the proxy server.

For 

BlackBerry

 OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) devices, the 

BlackBerry Router

 also sends data directly to and receives data from devices that are connected to a work 

Wi-Fi

 network or to a computer that has the 

BlackBerry Device Manager

. 

This image shows the following options for sending data through a proxy server to the 

BlackBerry Infrastructure

: no proxy server, a TCP proxy server deployed in a DMZ, and the 

BlackBerry Router

 deployed in a DMZ.
