General

The LNL-X3300 intelligent controller provides decision-making, event reporting, and database storage for the Lenel hardware platform.

The LNL-X3300 communicates with the host via on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port or the Micro USB port (2.0) with an optional Micro USB to Ethernet adapter. Sub controllers are connected via ports 1 and 2 using 2-wire RS-485 multi-drop communication buses. The LNL-X3300 requires 12 to 24 VDC for power.

LNL-X3300 Hardware

LNL-X3300 Wiring and Setup

* Terms A & B are from the RS-485 standard.

Jumpers and Jacks

The LNL-X3300 controller hardware interface is configured using jumpers to set up the port interface and end of line termination.

*Observe polarity connection to LED. External current limiting is not required.

DIP Switches

The four switches on S1 DIP switch configure the operating mode of the LNL-X3300 controller. DIP switches are read on power-up except where noted.

Pressing reset switch S2 causes the LNL-X3300 to reboot.

X = ON or OFF. All other switch settings are unassigned and reserved for future use.

* In the factory or Lenel default modes, downloaded configuration/database is not saved to flash memory.

Factory Default Communication Parameters

Interface 1 (NIC1)

• Network: static IP address: 192.168.0.251
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
• DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
• Primary Host port: IP server, Data Security: TLS if Available, port 3001, communication address: 0
• Alternate Host Port: Disabled

Bulk Erase Configuration Memory

The bulk erase function can be used for the following purposes:

• Erase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board, less third party applications)
• Update OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed
• Recover from database corruption causing LNL-X3300 board to continuously reboot

If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.

Bulk Erase Steps

1. Set S1 DIP switches to: 1 & 2 "ON," 3 & 4 "OFF."
2. Apply power to the LNL-X3300 board. LED 1 on for about 15 seconds while LNL-X3300 boots up.
3. After the LNL-X3300 boots up, watch for LEDs 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 to alternately flash at a 0.5 second rate.
4. Within 10 seconds after the above pattern starts, change switches 1 or 2 to "OFF." If these switches are not changed, the LNL-X3300 board will power up using the OEM default communication parameters.
5. LED 2 will flash indicating that the configuration memory is being erased. Full memory erase takes up to 60 seconds, usually a lot less. When complete, only LEDs 1 & 4 will flash for about 3 seconds.
6. The LNL-X3300 board will complete its initialization in 2 seconds after LEDs 1 & 4 stop flashing.

Communication Wiring

The LNL-X3300 controller communicates to the host via the on-board Ethernet 10-BaseT/100Base-TX port and/or the USB port (2.0) with an optional USB to Ethernet adapter.

Ports 1 and 2 utilize 2-wire RS-485 interface. The interface allows multi-drop communication on a single bus of up to 4,000 feet (1,219 m). Use 1-twisted pair, shielded, 120 ohm impedance, 24 AWG. 4,000 ft. (1,219 m) maximum cable length.

Memory and Real Time Clock Backup Battery

The static RAM and the real time clock are backed up by a lithium battery when input power is removed. This battery should be replaced annually. If data in the static RAM is determined to be corrupt after power up, all data, including flash memory, is considered invalid and is erased. All configuration data must be re-downloaded. 

During installation and while the unit is not powered, change the jumper (J19) position from OFF to ON to enable the battery backup. 

Battery type: BR2330 or CR2330.

IT Security

When installing the LNL-X3300, it is important to ensure that it is done in a secure manner.

Upon installation, the user accounts to the web configuration page should be created with secure passwords, and that all DIP switches are in the off position for the normal operating mode. The LNL-X3300 is shipped from the factory with a default login account, which is enabled when DIP 1 is moved from OFF to ON. The default login user name and password will be available for five minutes once enabled. Therefore, it is important that at least one user account is defined, and the DIP switches are set to OFF before the LNL-X3300 is commissioned. It is also highly recommended not to configure the LNL-X3300 with an IP address that is accessible from the public Internet.

To further enhance network security, options are available to disable SNMP, Zeroconf discovery, as well as the web configuration module itself. Additionally, data encryption can be enabled over the host communication port.

Status LEDs

Power-up: All LEDs OFF.

Initialization: After power is applied or the reset switch is pressed, LED 1 is ON for about 15 seconds, then LEDs 2 through 6 are flashed once at the beginning of initialization.

LEDs 3 and 4 turn ON for approximately 1 second after the hardware initialization has completed, then the application code is initialized. The amount of time the application takes to initialize depends on the size of the database, about 1 second without a card database. Each 10,000 cards adds about 2 seconds to the application initialization.

When LEDs 1 through 4 flash at the same time, data is being read from or written to flash memory; do not cycle power when in this state.

If the sequence stops or repeats, perform Bulk Erase Steps.

Running: After initialization is complete, the LEDs have the following meanings:
