Lenel Advanced Intelligent Dual Reader Controller LNL-M4420-VA (LNL-M4420-VA)

The LNL-M4420-VA is an Advanced Dual Reader Controller that provides a single-board solution for interfacing up to 64 doors, plus auxiliary inputs and outputs, to an OnGuard® system.

The LNL-M4420-VA controller enables Ethernet connection directly from an entry location to the OnGuard server. In addition, other I/O and reader interface modules can be added on the controller’s two downstream ports, further expanding its capabilities. In the event of communication loss, the LNL-M4420-VA controller can maintain most of its local functionality until the server connection is restored.

The LNL-M4420-VA controller can act as an interface to building automation systems via the ASHRAE BACnet™ protocol. Through the OnGuard software, up to 63 total BACnet points can be defined. These can be a mix of physical inputs connected to the board and virtual outputs. Virtual outputs can be set and read from a connected BACnet client, allowing two-way state exchange with a variety of building control systems. This information can be used by both OnGuard and the external system for status reporting, and as inputs to control logic. Utilizing its secure 32-bit processor and a multiple-application operating system, the LNL-M4420 controller communicates upstream to the host computer through its Ethernet port.

The LNL-M4420-VA controller can store more than 1,000,000 cardholders in non-volatile flash memory (depending on configuration), and supports selective download for larger cardholder databases. The two downstream RS-485 two-wire ports can be used to connect up to 64 devices (64 doors) in many combinations of LNL-1100, LNL-1200, LNL-1300, LNL-1320, Schlage® PIM-400 wireless interface (OnGuard 7.5 and higher), or ASSA ABLOY Aperio® wireless devices. Each LNL-M4420-VA controller supports up to 16 different card formats. The LNL-M4420-VA controller also includes eight inputs — four designated for door interface support and four for generalpurpose inputs.
