Lenel LNL-M2210 PoE Intelligent Single Door Controller
Description
Lenel LNL-M2210 PoE Intelligent Single Door Controller for OnGuard
The Lenel LNL-M2210 Intelligent Single Door Controller is an M-Series edge controller that runs one opening with one or two readers and powers itself over the network cable with PoE or PoE+. It stores up to 240,000 cardholders and a 500,000-event log on board, keeps making access decisions if the link to the OnGuard server drops, and talks to OnGuard over TLS 1.2/1.3. It suits offices, classrooms, IDF rooms and remote doors where a single network drop is easier than a home-run to a panel.

Why Choose the Lenel LNL-M2210?
- Powered by PoE or PoE+, so one network cable powers the controller and its readers
- 240,000 cardholders and a 500,000-event log stored on the board
- Keeps controlling the door if the OnGuard server connection is lost
- TLS 1.2/1.3 to OnGuard and AES-256 to LenelS2 Series 3 modules, with an optional data-at-rest encryption setting
- Supports Wiegand, clock and data, OSDP RS-485, keypad, LCD and biometric readers
- Up to 600 mA of 12 VDC reader power
- Supports PIV, CAC and TWIC credentials plus proximity, iCLASS, MIFARE and DESFire cards
- Compact board: 5.5 x 2.75 x 0.96 in. without bracket
PoE Power and Simple Installation
The LNL-M2210 takes power from an 802.3af PoE (12.95 W) or 802.3at PoE+ (25 W) switch port, or from a local 12 VDC supply. On PoE it provides 12 VDC at 625 mA for readers and auxiliary devices; on PoE+ or local 12 VDC that rises to 1.25 A. Reader port power is 12 VDC at up to 600 mA.
Readers and Credentials
Reader port 1 accepts TTL, F/2F or 2-wire RS-485 readers, including OSDP readers; reader port 2 accepts TTL or F/2F. Use one reader per side of the door for in/out control, or a keypad or biometric reader for two-factor entry. LenelS2 lists support for PIV, CAC and TWIC cards as well as magnetic stripe, proximity, iCLASS, MIFARE and DESFire credentials.
Local Decisions and Event Storage
The controller holds up to 240,000 cardholders in 6 MB of flash and keeps a 500,000-event log. Once configured it works independently of the host, so access decisions, anti-passback, two-person control, tailgate control and occupancy limits continue while the network is down, and events upload when the link returns.
Cybersecurity
Communication to OnGuard uses TLS 1.2/1.3, links to LenelS2 Series 3 reader and I/O modules use AES-256 (AES-128 for Series 2), and data-at-rest encryption can be turned on. Firmware is stored in flash and can be updated with a background download.
Expansion Options
With OnGuard 7.6 and higher, the LNL-M2210 can run in an alternative configuration that drives up to eight RS-485 addressed devices, such as LNL-1300 and LNL-1320 reader interface modules, from reader port 1. A USB2-OTGE100 adapter adds a secondary network connection on a separate subnet.
Typical Applications
- Single office, classroom or suite doors
- IT closets, IDF rooms and server rooms
- Remote or detached doors with an existing network drop
- Retrofits where running new power to the door is costly
- Adding a door to an existing OnGuard system
