Connect the 12-24 VDC power lines to the designated power input terminal block. Double-check polarity (+ and -) before activating power.
Step 3: Wiring and ConnectionsReconnect the legacy wiring to the appropriate ports on the M5 controller.
Up to 650,000 cardholders (depending on configuration and event log allocation). Communication Ports: Port 1: 10/105Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 port.
: Remove the legacy CASI M5/M3000 CPU (models E, P, PX, PXN, or PXNplus) and the legacy Power/Comm Board (PN: 110064001). Lenel Lnl-3300-m5 Installation Manual UPD
Port 2 connects to the existing legacy M5 reader interface panels using the original 2-wire RS-485 bus cabling.

The controller serves as the access control engine for the Lenel OnGuard system, making real‑time decisions and executing schedules locally even if host communication is temporarily lost. It supports a maximum of 32 board addresses and can manage up to 64 downstream devices (such as LNL‑1100, LNL‑1200, LNL‑1300, and LNL‑1320 modules) via its two RS‑485 ports.
