Installation and User Interface Overview

Single Processor System

LightDesigner configurations with only a single processor will automatically resolve

processor number (identity) and IP settings when loaded onto a processor. No additional

setup is required.

Step 1:

Use removable media to load the LightDesigner configuration file.

See “Load

Architectural Configuration” on page 60.

Alternatively you may load the

configuration file from a PC through the Ethernet port on the front of the

Paradigm ACP.

Multiple Processor System

Multiple processor systems require that you set each processor’s unique number (identity)

before loading a LightDesigner configuration file.

Step 1:

Set the processor number (identity) from the “Select New Settings” menu list

located in Assign Processor/IP menu. This action also selects processor IP

settings. Reference

“Assign Processor / IP”, page 43

.

Step 2:

Repeat

“Step 1:”,

for all processors in the Paradigm system utilizing a unique

processor number for each.

Step 3:

Load the architectural configuration into all online processors in the system. Use

either a removable media device, upload from LightDesigner when connected to

Ethernet, or request it from another online processor.

See “Load Architectural

Configuration” on page 60.

System Status

When the Paradigm ACP is installed properly and power is applied to the enclosure, the

graphic LCD illuminates and displays system status.

When the Paradigm ACP is installed in a host DRd rack, the default status displays

Dimming Rack Status.

When the Paradigm ACP is installed in a host ERn enclosure, only the Arch Control Status

is displayed. Check the status LEDs for indication of power, control, and rack status.

The “Power” LED illuminates blue when power is applied to the Paradigm ACP.

The “DMX A” LED illuminates solid green to indicate when a DMX signal is present.
When the DMX input signal has an error or is not present, the LED will flash.

The “DMX B” LED illuminates solid green to indicate when a DMX signal is present.
When the DMX input signal has an error or is not present, the LED will flash.

The “Ethernet” LED flickers green to indicate network activity or traffic, and remains off
when Ethernet is not connected.

The “Error” LED flashes red when any system errors or warnings exist. This error LED
is accompanied by status messages on the LCD.

See “View/Clear Errors Menu” on

page 64.
