asterisk users - Aug 2013 - Use DPMA to enumerate unconfigured Digium phones in LAN

Is there a way to use DPMA to enumerate the Digium phones that are plugged in
and visible in the local network, but not (yet) configured through the DPMA
configuration files in Asterisk. I would like to write a frontend that lists the
DPMA capable phones,
presents a GUI to specify the various options, then write the configuration
files as required and make the phones read these settings. Ideally such a report
would indicate the MAC address for the phone and preferably the current IP.

Plain old ARP ought to be able to do that.  You can spot a Digium phone by its 
MAC address starting with 00:0f:d3.

Happy user of Digium phones -- and without DPMA, until they release the Source 
Code for it.
