Lenel LNL-M3300 Intelligent System Controller, 64 Doors
Description
Lenel LNL-M3300 Intelligent System Controller for OnGuard
The Lenel LNL-M3300 Intelligent System Controller (ISC) is the M-Series access control engine for OnGuard panels built from reader interface and I/O modules. Two downstream RS-485 ports connect up to 64 devices (64 doors) in combinations of LNL-1100, LNL-1200, LNL-1300 and LNL-1320 modules. It stores 500,000 cardholders and 500,000 events, uses TLS 1.2/1.3 to OnGuard and supports Aperio, Schlage and SimonsVoss wireless locks, making it the core of multi-door buildings and campus panels.

Why Choose the Lenel LNL-M3300?
- Up to 64 devices and 64 doors from one controller
- 500,000 cardholders in 15 MB of flash
- 500,000-event log with super-capacitor backup
- TLS 1.2/1.3 to OnGuard and AES-256 to Series 3 modules

- Elevator control for up to 128 floors and PINs up to 9 digits
- Optional secondary network connection on a separate subnet
Built for Multi-Door Panels
The LNL-M3300 has no reader ports of its own. Instead, its two RS-485 ports drive up to 64 LenelS2 devices in many combinations of LNL-1100 input, LNL-1200 output, LNL-1300 single reader and LNL-1320 dual reader modules, so one controller can run an entire floor, building or campus panel.
Capacity and Local Operation
Up to 500,000 cardholders are stored in 15 MB of non-volatile flash, with selective download for larger databases, and 500,000 events are held in super-capacitor-backed memory. The controller supports 16 badge formats, 32,000 access levels, 255 time zones and 255 holidays, elevator control for up to 128 floors, PINs up to 9 digits and biometric template storage.
Network Connections
The primary 10/100 Ethernet port connects to the OnGuard host. A USB 2.0 port with the USB2-OTGE100 adapter adds a secondary network connection, which LenelS2 recommends placing on a different subnet from the primary.
Cybersecurity
TLS 1.2/1.3 to OnGuard, AES-256 to LenelS2 Series 3 reader and I/O modules (AES-128 for Series 2) and an optional data-at-rest encryption setting.
Wireless Locks
The LNL-M3300 supports ASSA ABLOY Aperio, Schlage AD400, Schlage Engage and SimonsVoss wireless lock gateways alongside wired doors.
Typical Applications
- Multi-door buildings and campus panels
- Hospitals, schools and enterprise offices
- Panels built from LNL-1300 and LNL-1320 reader modules
- Mixed wired and wireless lock sites
- Elevator access control
