43 Paradigm Architectural Control Processor Configuration Manual
Assign Processor / IP
Systems configured with LightDesigner to have only a single processor will automatically
resolve to and use the processor identity including IP settings created in the configuration
file.
For systems configured in LightDesigner to have multiple processors, you must manually
set the identity on each Paradigm ACP. Manually setting identity can be done from the
“Select New Settings” or “Edit Local Settings” menu list. These actions also select
processor IP settings.
When the Paradigm ACP does not have a LightDesigner configuration loaded, the “Select
New Settings” and “Edit Local Settings” menu lists will suggest settings based on the same
default addressing that is used in LightDesigner.
Once the Paradigm ACP has a valid LightDesigner configuration, the “Select New Settings”
and “Edit Local Settings” menu lists will suggest settings based on the loaded configuration
data.
Select New Settings
“Select New Settings” menu provides default processor name with associated default IP
settings for selection. ETC recommends that you use the default settings unless you have
specific needs such as a routed IP network or the use of DHCP IP services.
When the processor number has been previously specified from the front panel of the
Paradigm processor, that information is retained by the Paradigm ACP with the exception
of a “restore defaults” action. A restore defaults action from the processor face panel
changes defaults to match defaults used in LightDesigner (manual/10.101.10.101, etc) and
resets the identity to the unassigned processor state.
Edit Local Settings
N o t e : If a configuration is running, changes from Edit Local Settings will overwrite
configuration data and persist the overwrite until a new configuration is loaded.
When the processor number has been previously specified from the front panel of
the Paradigm ACP, that information is retained by the ACP with the exception of
a “Restore Defaults” action.

All Paradigm processors must know who they are (Name) and
what their communication settings (IP) are before they can
communicate properly over Ethernet. These two settings are
referred to as “Identity”. When “Identity” is not known, the
processor name is displayed as “Unassigned Processor”.

An asterisk next to a processor name indicates the settings that

Edit Local Settings provides a more advanced selection
of processor name (id) and IP settings. User’s may
specify either automatic or manual IP addressing with
the ability to manually edit IP address fields.
