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
