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?

They worked in 9.0 programmed as a 6940, so in theory, any release that supports a 6940 should work. You may have to side-load newer firmware on the phones themselves (1.5 or better) to get them to work. I've never actually done it, however.

you need to upgrade the Mivb to V8 SP3 or V9 to be able to choose 6970 as device .
