BlackBerry MDS Simulator

Configuring the BlackBerry MDS Simulator simulator
The default values for the BlackBerry® MDS Simulator parameters are appropriate in most cases; however, you can change parameters to set the following features:

* logging
* HTTP support
* HTTPS support
* push support
* email-to-PIN mappings.

In a production environment, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server system administrator sets the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service parameters using the BlackBerry device management software. Contact your system administrator for more information.
