Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of replacing at a first location in a telephony network first telephony apparatus comprising apparatus data with second telephony apparatus. The method comprises receiving at a second location in the telephony network remote from the first location identification data for the first telephony apparatus, the identification data providing for identification of the first telephony apparatus from among plural telephony apparatus in the telephony network. The method also comprises acquiring apparatus data for the first telephony apparatus from a data structure in dependence on the identification data, the data structure comprising the identification data and the apparatus data. The method further comprises replacing in the telephony network the first telephony apparatus with the second telephony apparatus. The method yet further comprises conveying the acquired apparatus data from the second location to the second telephony apparatus by way of the telephony network.
