Configuring Connectivity from the Application
By default, the Bloomberg Anywhere for BlackBerry software will attempt to connect to the
Bloomberg BlackBerry Gateway at the address bloombergmds:4444. You have two options in order
to enable this connection:
1. Make this address resolve to a valid Bloomberg BlackBerry Gateway (for example by editing
the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc or setting up a domain name in your internal
DNS).
2. Changing the address that the software attempts to connect to using the
Bloomberg.Transport.DefaultGateway Custom IT Policy Rule. Please see the section of this
guide on Custom IT Policy Rules for more information.
An example of editing the hosts file is shown below:
