Abstract: Methods and apparatuses extracting data from a networked voice communication device (NVCD) are presented. One apparatus presented includes a processor and memory which is functionally coupled to the processor. The memory has executable instructions for causing the processor to iterate over a plurality of IP addresses within a subnet, and for each iteration, access a networked device at an IP address, determine whether the networked device is a VoIP telephone satisfying at least one predetermined criterion, and extract operational data from the VoIP telephone based upon the determination. A method for extracting data from a (NVCD) is presented which includes searching a network for a device functionally coupled to the network, determining whether the device is ail NVCD satisfying at least one predetermined criterion, where the at least one predetermined criterion includes a manufacturer's name, and extracting data from the NVCD.
