Aastra BusinessPhone Management Suite (BMS) on Internet Explorer 11

One cannot go back to Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8.1. Internet Explorer 11 is the default web browser for Windows 8.1. However, it is possible to use Internet Explorer developer tool and use Internet Explorer 10 on Internet Explorer 11 by following these steps:

1.       Open Internet Explorer 11
2.       Press F12 on the keyboard
3.       Click Emulation button or press Ctrl + 8.
4.       Under Mode change “User agent string” to Internet Explorer 10.
5.       You can use IE11 as IE10.

BMS will still give runtime issues so just add the site 127.0.0.1/smt to the compatibility list:
