* Application Control Policy (Permissions)
|
Because of the high security profile of BlackBerry® devices, most third party applications including drivers are restricted from use of certain low level API that could possible compromise the security features of BlackBerry devices.
Therefore in order for the Bluetooth keyboard driver to function properly, the driver must be “Allowed” to use the low level Event Injector API that enable keyboard input to be displayed (injected into) applications running on the BlackBerry® handset.
Allowing the keyboard driver the use of the Event Injector API requires the following:
1. Open [Options].
* Symptoms: Driver indicates keyboard is connected but typing does not display keys on device. |
|
* Troubleshooting Tips
| Problem | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
| KeyPro starts with “Injector API policy. Please contact your BES administrator to Unblock Injector API” error message. | "Injector API Blocking" is caused by security measures implemented by your BES Application Control Policy for your device. | You should contact your BES administrator to configure your device's Application Control Policy to allow the KeyPro-Advance driver the use of the Injector API. See User's Manual for details on configuring your device Application Control Policy. |
| My keyboard is paired but KeyPro indicates keyboard is disconnected. |
1. KeyPro was not registered. 2. [Ö] Keyboard Active not enabled |
1. Verify that your registration key is
correctly entered. 2. Activate keyboard under “Keyboard Settings”. |
| My keyboard is turned on and my driver says it is connected but I can not type using the keyboard. | 1. Language layout
settings is not supported or not selected. 2. KeyPro is not responding to inputs. |
1. Open the “Manage Layouts” option and set
the language layout to “US (English)”. 2. Restart KeyPro connection by disabling [ ] Keyboard Active and exiting and saving new settings. Then enable [Ö] Keyboard Active. 3. If above does not solve the problem try resetting the device. |
| KeyPro stopped connecting to my keyboard. | 1. KeyPro-Advance
driver configuration data possibly corrupted. 2. KeyPro registration key incorrect. |
1. Using the BlackBerry® desktop manager
un-install KeyPro then re-install. 2. Re-enter KeyPro registration key. |
