Cisco 1600 with adaptive WAN speed

Nov 08, 2006 1 Replies

I have a customer with a Cisco 1600 series router that is tied to a channel bank via a serial interface.



The phone company has sold the customer a T-1 circuit for use with voice and data. NOT a VOIP setup.



In addition, they told the customer that if no voice calls were in use, they would have a full 1.544Mbps data connection. Furthermore, as voice calls were made the data rate would seamlessly decrease in increments of 64Kbps.



I am not an expert at this so I ask those who are, is this pie in the sky or can it be done? With a Cisco 1600? Due to the age of the router I suspect an IOS of 12.1 or less and probably just basic ip.



The customer says his data rate is far worse than before..

I've never heard of a channel bank that could do anything like this. Sounds like someone's blowing smoke, and strong smoke at that.
