Setup Manual - Butler PRO
System description
The e:cue Butler PRO is a 16 channel DMX/RDM or e:pix interface that acts as an
interface between a server running the e:cue Lighting Application Suite and devices
with DMX512 or e:pix connections. The Butler PRO usually gets mounted in a
universal 19-inch rack system or on walls or ceilings.
The server connection is a standard CAT5 RJ45 based Ethernet interconnect. The
device connection is also RJ45 based. All usual CAT5 RJ45 cables can be used.
Please note that e:net requires an isolated network segment and cannot
operate properly when using e. g. Internet traffic or video/audio stream-
ing in the same network simultaneously.

Mounting and installation
Mount the Butler PRO in a standard 19-inch rack system. Use appropriate rack
screws, cage nuts and spring clips for mounting.
Unit distribution
As the Butler PRO has no active cooling, place a
maximum of two units together, leave one unit free
or place a passive device, followed by the next two
units. Additionally care for:
yclosing of unused units with rack plates
ymounting in a fan-ventilated closed rack
yplacement of the rack in an air conditioned room
Connect the Butler PRO with the outputs of the Ethernet switch and with power.
When installing and mounting more than one Butler PRO in factory state,
make sure that only one Butler PRO gets connected and configured at
one time. If connecting more than one device with the factory IP address
(192.168.123.1) the Ethernet connection will not work
User interface
The Butler Pro comes with a circular keypad and an LC display for operation
and setup. During regular operation the Butler PRO displays status and opera-
tional messages on the display. When in setup mode, parameters and values are
displayed, the keypad is used for selecting parameters and changing values. Only
keypads, that are allowed at a certain state, are lit up, either in operational or in
setup mode. This picture is the Butler PRO DMX.

Setup Manual - Butler PRO
After powering up the Butler PRO, the loader shows the loading progress and
revision levels of the loader and the firmware. After loading is completed, the Butler
PRO enters operational mode. The setup mode must be selected separately.
During online operation, usually the IP address and other network parameters are
shown, also the host address of the server running the Programmer of the Lighting
Application Suite. All used values for parameters are just examples, they depend on
the configuration of your Butler PRO.
Operational messages
After powering-up and loading the Butler PRO cycles through this set of status
messages (DEVICENAME is the name given via manual or online setup):
