Hi! I just purchased a used Ericsson RBS 6000 chassis with a DUS 31 module in it. From
what I have read, this module should be compatible with Open5GS for the LTE side, but I
wanted to inquire about the status of support for it on the GSM side under OsmoBSC. As far
as I know, it should work the same as the DUG series which is supported, with the only
difference being it's use of Ericsson packetAbis/IP rather than hardware T1 lines for
the voice backhaul connectivity. Will these units work with osmocom for GSM, or will I
have to purchase a DUG unit for my enclosure? Is there anything else I should be aware
of?
Thank you,

Yes it should work with Open5GS. You might find some help configuring it for LTE in the
osmocom.org wiki.
It was written for the DUL 20 but should be still matching for the

The DUG has been tested with osmo-bsc and also a lot of effort has been done for it to
work.
AFAIK nobody tested the DUS 31 or BB5xxx or BB6xxx with osmo-bsc.
I would expect it requires additional work.
But it would be interesting what would happen on the IP side. If you've time to create
a setup, a pcap
would be nice.
If you want to configure it, try to configure it as GSM only. In theory it should also
work in mixed mode, but that might require additional work. Be simple and start with GSM
only.
Best,

just checked, the DUS/BB seems to require abis over IP with l2tp. It might works with
osmo-e2ltpd https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/osmo-el2tpd
But osmo-el2tpd is in an early state/prototype.
