The FL Switch 2000 line bridges the gap between simple unmanaged switches and complex managed devices. The switches in the 2000 line feature easy configuration, remote monitoring and advanced communications options. The 2000/2100 series gives machine builders a switch with multicast filter functions and redundancy mechanisms to reduce the data load in the network and maintain communications even in the event of a Layer 1 failure. The devices can be configured via an SD card, a command line interface (CLI) or the smart mode button located on the device. The switches feature an extended temperature range of -40 to 70 °C.
