InterTel IP Phones and IPRC issues

Hi guys...we have a secondary office with IP phones with a point to point T1 to our office..and we have satelite offices with IP phones that don't have a point to point. We route the IP phones through cisco routers and we allocate 75% of the bandwidth for the IP phones...25% for data. Even with only 3 ip phones connected to the T1--the data crawls. Another issue just came up today...apparently, since we have a point to point T1 accessing the InterTEl IPRC...and other satelite offices that don't use a point to point...that come in through the dsl...all the T1 voice is being ping ponged and it goes through the dsl at the switch as well !!!!!! So...net net net...we don't have any voice really using the T1 (efficiently).

Does anyone know if we need to get a second IPRC so that the point to point can be directed to one...and the other IP phones coming in on DSL can go to the other one?

Man o man...

No. The issue is not the IPRC but how you set up your network.

issue #1 - why allocate any specific percentage of bandwidth on the cisco at all to VOIP? use weighted queing, not bandwidth reservation

issue#2 - the statement "since we have a point to point T1 accessing the InterTEl IPRC" makes no sense. I can see where you might have an IPRC being accesses through a pt to pt T1, but not the other way around. That is gibberish.

not to clear what you mean, but this sounds like a router config issue. If the routers are set up right, andything coming in on the T1 will be answered going back out on the T1. Anything coming in on the dsl will be answered going back out over the dsl. Not the IPRC's problem.
