1.1 Device versions
The FL MGUARD is available in the following device versions, which largely have identical
functions. All devices can be used regardless of the processor technology and operating
system used by the connected computers.
FL MGUARD RS4000/
FL MGUARD RS2000
The FL MGUARD RS4000 is a security router with intelligent firewall and optional IPsec
VPN (10 to 250 tunnels). It has been designed for use in industry to accommodate strict
distributed security and high availability requirements.
The FL MGUARD RS2000 is a version with basic firewall and integrated IPsec VPN
(maximum of two tunnels). Its scope of functions is reduced to the essentials. It is suitable
for secure remote maintenance applications in industry and enables the quick startup of
robust field devices for industrial use, thereby facilitating error-free, independent operation.
Both versions support a replaceable configuration memory in the form of an SD card. (The
SD cards are not supplied as standard.) The fanless metal housing is mounted on a DIN rail.
The following connectivity options are available
