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.

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 <All> 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.
Connect a Device
Step 1:
Scroll to “Connect a Device” and press enter (
). Depending on the filter criteria,
the list of unconnected stations are shown, listed by the station name as provided
by the configuration.

The “LonWorks Connections” menu provides visibility of
all LonWorks devices (stations, sensors, etc.) that are
already connected to the Paradigm ACP and the
devices that are expected, as defined from the
LightDesigner configuration. You may filter the devices
list by space as configured in the architectural
configuration.
