Answer
Some of the differences are listed below. For a complete list, refer to the appropriate Overview section in the Hardware Installation Guide.- Serial numbers
Series 3 boards: greater than 2,000,000
Series 2 boards: greater than 650,000 and less than 2,000,000
Series 1 boards: less than 650,000 - Color
Series 3 boards are red.
Series 2 and series 1 boards are green. - LEDs
Series 3 and 2 boards have LEDs mounted flush to the board. These LEDs are much brighter than the LEDs on series 1 boards.
Series 1 boards have LEDs shaped like small bulbs. The LEDs are dim and sometimes they are difficult to see when lit. - Address settings
The LNL-1300 Series 3 has a switch block to set addresses.
Series 2 and series 1 boards set addresses with jumpers. - Firmware revisions change for series versions of the same board model. This particularly applies to LNL-1300 and LNL-1320 reader interface modules. Consult the "Lenel Access Control Hardware" compatibility chart on the Partner Center, located at the following address, to determine correct versions of firmware:
