LabView written for 8473 module compatible with 9862 module?

[GusTTShowbiz]

Hello, I'm new with CAN bus communication, and I have a LV program written for 8473 module using ncConfigCANNet, ncOpen...etc. I'm thinking about switching to 9862 module.  I've been reading about this NI-XNET.  Can 9862 communicate only through XNET or can I still use my old program?  I tried to run my old program and I get an error immediately at Config vi.

You can use NI-XNET Compatibility Library for NI-CAN to enable code originally written using NI-CAN (Frame or Channel API) to work with NI-XNET CAN hardware. See Migrating NI-CAN Applications to NI-XNET for the caveat.
