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:

Setting compatibility:

MX-ONE and DBC 4224 not coming out of Night Mode

Had a recent problem with an MX-ONE using a DBC 4224 as an operator (a dated method, but the client's choice). The system was equipped with ELU33 and MGU2. Once programmed, the phone started fine and showed "Night Service".

Pressing on/off did not change the status though! Problem?

TMU resources on the MGU are not sufficient. A TMU card (e.g. TMU/2) is needed for a DBC4224 to work on an MX-ONE.

Teamviewer via 3G and LAN access

Normally, when a Teamviewer connection is established via 3G (or similar), it uses that as the default network route. So reaching anything via the LAN port seems impossible.

However, all that needs to be added is a default route for that specific destination.

Example: Wanting to reach host 192.168.2.10.

Run ipconfig in command prompt. Find your "Local Area Connection" default gateway (e.g. 192.168.4.1).

 route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1
