Answer

We recommend you use an unmanaged switch, without B.S protection that is an industrial hub fulfilling the conditions of use for FL-net.

* What is 'B.S'?
B.S is an abbreviation of broadcast storm. When multiple hubs are used, the same data is passed around among the devices due to the loop network path. This phenomenon is called 'B.S'.

* What is 'unmanaged switch'?
An unmanaged switch is a simple switching hub, without options such as remote operation, control, or monitoring.
