I have a BCM 400 (Main office) with 3 remote offices (BCM 50's) connected via VoIP trunks. Inbound/outbound calls for all offices stem from the BCM 400 with a voice T-1. I have specific DID's routed to the remote offices. The following problems are occurring on 1 BCM only. The telco is telling us that the MPLS is running clean and between 17% - 20% capacity.

Fast busy when dialing in to remote office. The BCM monitor DOES NOT indicate all Voip trunks busy. No problems with the remote office dialing out via Voip.

Phantom calls ring into the remote office.

Dropped calls at the remote office

Inbound calls that ring a group of phones slowly lock up the ICM buttons for that group of phones.

7 days a week between 3 and 4 pm the BCM’s from the remote site to the main site max out the MPLS bandwidth for no reason. The telco indicated that my remote BCM 50 xxx.xxx.3.150 was maxing out the circuit to my main BCM 400 xxx.xxx.1.150 This was verified from the telco monitoring the circuit pointing out the ip’s in question. F.Y.I. The offices are closed on the weekends; there is no voice traffic.

Any ideas?

What releases are your bcm50's? Are they all patched the same?
Make sure all your bcm's are patched to the latest as few of these problems are known issues(icm buttons lock up,VoIP trunks locked up(even if they don't show up in bcm monitor.Restart the FEPS service and they will work for a while.)
 
The patch on the BCM 400 (main office) is 4.0.2.03 and the 3 BCM 50's (remote offices) are at 6.0.2.05.237

Where in Eelment Manager do you restart FEPS service?

You'll find the service manager under -Administration-Alarms and then Service manager.
For the installed patches, don't refer to your bcm version
(6.0.2.05.237) but look for the "software update history" in Administration.
I guess they are not patched the same.
 
The 50's are all patched the same - no patches present. What area does the FEPS service handle? the VoIP trunks?
 

Yes FEPS service control the VoIP trunks.
No patches present? Install the latest Desktop and SU-System patches, it should fix most of your issues.
