Paradigm Architectural Control Processor Configuration Manual

Arch Setup Menu

When there is no architectural configuration file (created by LightDesigner) loaded into the

Paradigm ACP, certain menu items are not available for viewing or use. For instance,

without a architectural configuration file only the “Assign Processor/IP” and the

“Preferences” menu lists are available within the Arch Setup menu. Any dimming control

can be accomplished from the “Dimming Control” menu, but DMX data cannot pass from

the local DMX input to the local DMX output port without an architectural configuration.

LonWorks Connections

When the configuration includes wireless accessory devices, such as a Docking Station or

Wireless Access Station, a Wireless HF Channel menu option displays for configuration of

the wireless HF Channel property for those devices.

Device Connection Statistics

The device connection statistic displays as “xxx of yyy Connected” on the first line of the

display.

“xxx” represents the number of connected or bound neuron ID’s to this Paradigm ACP.

“yyy” represents the total number of expected or configured, but not yet connected,
neuron ID’s for this Paradigm ACP.

If the two numbers are not equal and you have a station that is not functioning, you must

connect the device using the “Connect a Device” selection.

Space Filtering

By default, device statistics are displayed for spaces. You can filter your device

criteria list by space making the device list more manageable.

Step 1:

Scroll to select Space and press enter (

). The “Select Space” menu list

displays all available spaces for this Paradigm ACP.

Step 2:

Scroll to select the space and press enter (

). Selecting a space filters the

connect to and disconnect from lists.

Connect To and Disconnect From a Device

After space filtering is set, you may choose to connect a device that is not yet bound to the

processor, or disconnect a device that is bound to the processor. If there are no Lon devices

to be connected, the “Connect a Device” menu list will not display. Also, if there are no

connected Lon devices, the “Disconnect a Device” menu list will not display.

filter the devices list by space as configured in the

architectural configuration.
