Capacity
Up to 500,000 cardholders are stored in 15 MB of non-volatile flash with selective download for larger databases, and 50,000 events are held in battery-backed memory. It supports 16 badge formats, 32,000 access levels, 255 time zones, 255 holidays, elevator control for up to 128 floors and PINs up to 9 digits.
Network Connections
A primary 10/100 Ethernet port connects to the OnGuard host, and a USB 2.0 port with the USB2-OTGE100 adapter adds a secondary network connection on a different subnet.
Cybersecurity
AES128 or TLS 1.2 (with AES256 support) 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.
Typical Applications
- Adding panels to an existing X-Series OnGuard system
- Like-for-like replacement of an LNL-X3300
- Sites still running LNL-500B or LNL-500W modules
- Multi-door buildings and campus panels
