Eduroam Configuration for Blackberry
These instructions will configure your wireless connection to the eduroam wireless network. It will allow you to authenticate and browse using a higher level of security and protection. It will also automatically log you in after your first connection – no need to login and authenticate every time you come onto campus.
NOTE:
Due to the customization of layouts and designs in the Blackberry O/S, and the ability to move/hide icons, this document will mainly be a guide for connecting to the eduroam wireless network. The look of the icons, menus and screenshots in the following instructions may not be identical to the layout on your own personal device. The setting names and the settings themselves will however be identical across all Blackberrys.
