The BlackBerry device is not using the same channel as the access point. Perform the following actions: • Use a wireless device, such as a laptop computer, to test the association with the access point. Use the settings that the BlackBerry uses to configure the wireless connection. • Use a wireless device, such as a computer, to ping the BlackBerry Router. The ping tests whether the BlackBerry Router is on the ACL of the access point. • If access point logs are available, view the logs to determine the error that occurred. The authentication method is not configured correctly. For more information, see the documentation for your organization's access points. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, verify the configuration information for the authentication method. • If a WEP key or PSK is required, verify that the key is configured correctly. • For WEP authentication, verify that the access point is configured to not filter the MAC address of the BlackBerry device. • For LEAP authentication, verify that the user's authentication credentials are correct. • For PEAP authentication, verify that the user's authentication credentials are correct. • For EAP-TLS authentication, verify that the EAP-TLS certificate for the user account is correct. The static IP address and DHCP for the BlackBerry device are not configured correctly. Verify that the correct authentication method is configured on the access point and BlackBerry device. Perform any of the following actions: • If a static IP address is configured, verify that the parameters such as the subnet mask, default gateway IP address, and DNS IP address are configured correctly. • If the BlackBerry device uses DHCP, verify that the BlackBerry device can obtain a valid IP configuration (for example, an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway IP address, or DNS IP address). • Verify that a wireless device, such as a laptop computer, can connect to the network using DHCP and obtain an IP address. • Verify in the DHCP logs, if they are available, that a DHCP was granted to the BlackBerry device. 407

Possible cause
Possible solution
The settings in the IT policy or Wi-Fi
profile were not sent to the
BlackBerry device.
Resend the IT policy to the BlackBerry device.
The BlackBerry device is not using
the same channel as the access
point.
Perform the following actions:
Use a wireless device, such as a laptop computer, to test the association
with the access point. Use the settings that the BlackBerry uses to
configure the wireless connection.
Use a wireless device, such as a computer, to ping the BlackBerry
Router. The ping tests whether the BlackBerry Router is on the ACL of
the access point.
If access point logs are available, view the logs to determine the error
that occurred.
For more information, see the documentation for your organization’s
access points.
The authentication method is not
configured correctly.
In the BlackBerry Administration Service, verify the configuration
information for the authentication method.
If a WEP key or PSK is required, verify that the key is configured
correctly.
For WEP authentication, verify that the access point is configured to
not filter the MAC address of the BlackBerry device.
For LEAP authentication, verify that the user’s authentication
credentials are correct.
For PEAP authentication, verify that the user’s authentication
credentials are correct.
For EAP-TLS authentication, verify that the EAP-TLS certificate for the
user account is correct.
Verify that the correct authentication method is configured on the access
point and BlackBerry device.
The static IP address and DHCP for
the BlackBerry device are not
configured correctly.
Perform any of the following actions:
If a static IP address is configured, verify that the parameters such as
the subnet mask, default gateway IP address, and DNS IP address are
configured correctly.
If the BlackBerry device uses DHCP, verify that the BlackBerry device
can obtain a valid IP configuration (for example, an IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway IP address, or DNS IP address).
Verify that a wireless device, such as a laptop computer, can connect
to the network using DHCP and obtain an IP address.
Verify in the DHCP logs, if they are available, that a DHCP was granted
to the BlackBerry device.
