6970 on MiVB 8

[AH64Armament]

Somehow one of our customers has managed to purchase a handful of 6970's and are stunned that they can't program them in the phone system.
In June we upgraded their systems (13) to MiVB 8 to allow them to use 69xx phones and make use of the less expensive Single-Line licenses to allow the use of Grandstream GXW42xx devices and eliminate the old PER nodes (they have about 15 or so across the 13 systems).

Anyhow, does anyone know if you can spin the 6970's up as 6940's?

On MiVB8 you just configure them as 6940 and log them in as normal. no special programming is needed.

Thank you Benny89 - After going back and forth with the site admin, I finally convinced him to try setting it at 6940 and it worked!
Now to get rid of those pesky PER nodes so we can upgrade to release 9+
