Step 1: Network Access: Carriers
There are two possible connections:
- Connect Direct TCP
- Custom/Advance Connection
Direct TCP
Direct TCP stack is included with BlackBerry handhelds version 3.8 or higher and allows direct TCP connection to be launched directly from the BlackBerry handheld without using the Mobile Data Service
In order to configure your BlackBerry to utilize the direct TCP, follow the steps featured below:
- Access Options located in your BlackBerry home screen (icon is highlighted with blue circle in the image below)
- Choose TCP or Tools from the available list
- Enter the required information for your wireless carrier
- Press the track wheel and Save your actions
- APN Username and Password must be requested from your carrier provider.
* Note: you will be able to make direct TCP connections from your handheld only if your wireless carrier supports such connections and you may also need to upgrade your rate plan accordingly.
Custom / Advance Connection
In case your device is not supported by Direct TCP Connection you will have to perform the Custom / Advance Connection where required fields will have to be filled in.
Make sure to generate all required information located in the Custom Settings screen featured below before you start the Program Launch of VT Mobile Trading System.
CUSTOM SETTINGS SCREEN
All fields featured in Custom Settings screen must be filled in accordingly with proper information which can be extracted directly from your BlackBerry by following the instructions presented in the Generating Information for Custom / Advance Connection section of the Content.
Generating Information for Custom / Advance Connection
To generate such information, follow the steps featured below:
- Select the Options application located in your BlackBerry home screen
- Highlight the entry for Service Book and open it by pressing the track wheel
- If there is an entry labeled WAP Transport highlight the entry, click the track wheel and select View.
* If there is no WAP Transport entry you will need to contact your mobile carrier in order to obtain your WAP settings.
- Press the track wheel and select Show HRT
- Press the track wheel again and this time select View
- If your device uses GPRS there should be a line beginning with APN:. The remaining text on that line is your GPRS APN that you will need to enter in Web Viewer.
- Obtain your WAP gateway IP address and port from the IP/Ports: field.
The WAP gateway IP address is composed of everything before the first colon
The WAP gateway port is the number following the first colon.
For example if IP/Ports: 10.250.250.250:9201:8205 then:
WAP gateway IP address is 10.250.250.250
WAP gateway port is 9201.
