Ask the BlackBerry system administrator if the site uses BlackBerry Wi-Fi to connect to DoD WLAN. If yes, verify the following actions have occurred:

1. Determine which BlackBerry users have been approved to use BlackBerry Wi-Fi to connect to the DoD WLAN. Ask the IAO or BlackBerry SA for names of site BlackBerry users that have been authorized to use BlackBerry Wi-Fi Service.

2. Verify that these users have been assigned a WLAN Configuration Set (profile). Verify that authorized users have been assigned a WLAN profile as follows (select two or three users to check).

For BES 5.0
- On the BAS, in the BlackBerry solution management box, expand “User” and click on “Manage users.” Then, click on “search in the center screen. A list of all users assigned to the BES will be available.
- Click the user account to which you want to verify a WLAN profile has been assigned.
