Festool OF-2000 is naturally born as table mounted router. It does not require any special  hardware.  It required only 2 or 3 M6x30 screws.

OF-2000 routers have three M6 holes on the cast sole. Just remove plastic sole. These holes do have very simple geometry 75 - 100 -125mm or square 3-4-5 triangle.

My Bosch's router plate  already had two holes spaced 125mm, but it is possible to buy plate  without holes, and drill them.

OF-2000 router has unique fine adjuster that works well in the table setup.

This setup can use two dust collection points: one from the router, below table, second one from the fence.  Plus I love the price tag.

Simple like that

I had basis 6 module for OF-2000. It was good, but lack of accessories in the USA forced me to sell it.
I've played with CMS-OF module and OF-2000 last week, and found that OF-2000 can be installed into CMS-OF module. For centering I used 473810 centering ring. Yes, this is OF-1010 centering ring, but it has the same diameter as OF-2000.  Here are some pictures how it looks like. 

Please note, this setup is not supported by Festool!

Victor,

Currently have the OF 2000 and am looking to hook it up to a router table.  Ideally, I have an extra miter saw stand with mounting brackets that could easily accomodate a router plate.  Which router plate would you recommend or what configuration would work best?
 
Scotty,
It's up to you. I just showed two "out of box" solutions. There are many other router plates manufacturers.  Just mount router securely, and follow all safety rules.
I love Woodpecker's goods. They produce excellent aluminum plates with different size rings.
