4.1 Transport
Only transport the LCE2-mx in its original packaging. This protects
the server from damage.

15
General Remarks
4.2 Unpacking
Only unpack the LCE2-mx at its installation location. To protect the
device against condensation water, unpack it and wait until all
moisture remaining in the device has evaporated. Condensation
can occur when the device is moved from a cold to a warm
location. Keep the packaging for use in case of further transport.
Inspect all parts for completeness regarding chapter „2.2 Delivery
Content“ on page 11. If there is apparent damage to the device
or parts are missing from the delivery scope, please contact the
OSRAM support service.
4.3 Maintenance and Repair
Only external cleaning might be necessary. This cleaning may only
be carried out by skilled personnel. To clean the device,
disconnect it from the line power supply. Disconnect all devices
connected to the server. Do not use any cleaning agents
containing solvents (e.g. acetone, alcohol, or thinner) or abrasives.
The housing surface can be cleaned with a moist, lint-free cloth.
Ensure that no water penetrates into the housing. Otherwise, this
could damage the electronics.
!
Before dismounting, appropriate measures must be
taken to protect the respective components against
damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD
protection).
!
Do not try to repair the device. Return it to your
OSRAM distributor for replacement or repair.

Installation
5 Installation
5.1 Mounting
Place the device on a stable surface.
You can mount the LCE2-mx in racks as well as on walls or on DIN
rails. As delivered, the LCE2-mx is configured for wall mounting.
Use the mounting holes to fasten the LCE2-mx at a secure and
well ventilated place. Place the cooling fins in a vertical orientation.
Ensure proper strain relief for the connected cables.
The hardware for other mounting methods such as on DIN rail can
be additionally purchased. If mounting the LCE2-mx in a rack,
ensure that the server rack is sufficiently ventilated.
5.2 Power Supply
The device should only be connected to a 24 V DC power supply
which satisfies the requirements of safe extra low voltage (SELV).
Use the special terminal plug supplied to connect the supply
voltage. The permitted cable cross-section for the 24 V DC
connection is 1.5 sqmm (AWG 16). Make sure that the terminal
plug is fastened to the LCE2-mx by the lateral screws.
Batteries and technical appliances must not be
disposed of with domestic waste, but should be
handed in at the appropriate collection and disposal
points.

Conguration
6 Configuration
The LCE2-mx runs on Microsoft® Windows 10™ as operating
system. It enables you to run lighting control applications as
e:cue’s SYMPHOLIGHT and e:cue’s Lighting Application Suite
(LAS) on the LCE2-mx. When first powering the LCE2-mx, a setup
of the server is required. Set the network properties for the
LCE2-mx and the lighting control applications afterwards.
6.1 LCE2-mx Operation
Connect a display and input devices (keyboard, mouse) to the
LCE2-mx. Display and input devices are always necessary when
accessing any application or settings on the LCE2-mx. Connect
with the power supply and switch on the LCE2-mx with the power
button.
You can hot swap all devices to the LCE2-mx.
!
When adding or removing devices to or from the
system, ensure that the power cables for the devices
are unplugged before the signal cables are
connected.
i
Do not switch off the server with the main switch or
by removing the power supply, but use the Windows
shutdown function to prevent loss of data.

19
Conguration
6.2 Setup
Boot the LCE2-mx by pressing the On/ Off button. Windows starts
its usual setup. Follow the instructions. You can change the
keyboard layout to your needs and also set your time zone which
matters for the lighting show execution.
Windows is set to automatic login. For other cases, these are the
login credentials:
The default user name is: ecue
The default password is: ecue2018!
The LCE2-mx has a second, backup user account prepared for
safety or support reasons. Keep the account and do not change its
settings: ecueBackup (user name), ecueBackup2018! (password).
Especially in case of a forgotten password for the first account,
accessing the user configurations through the backup account
resolves the issue.
Recommendation: Use the default power plan “ecue”. Do not use a
power manager modus which includes “sleep“ since the LAS does
not prevent a system shutdown. As per default, the high
performance power management plan does not allow sleep
modus.
6.3 Network Settings LCE2-mx
Additionally to the network connection to the Internet, the
LCE2-mx is equipped with a second network adapter. This enables
the integration of the LCE2-mx into the network of the lighting
i
Provide an Internet connection for the LCE2-mx on
setup. If necessary, with a running DHCP server to
have an IP address assigned. Update Windows,
SYMPHOLIGHT and the LAS. Enable and execute
updates whenever available.

installation. Configure the network properties for the LCE2-mx as
in every Windows OS, according to your network requirements:
6.4 Network Settings SYMPHOLIGHT
The e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT application is pre-installed on the
LCE2-mx. SYMPHOLIGHT is a software application to design, test,
and program medium to very complex lighting designs. Developed
with superior usability in mind, e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT is a simple
yet powerful lighting control software with an intuitive graphic user
interface, based on advanced timeline programming. For
SYMPHOLIGHT to communicate with the network devices in the
installation, SYMPHOLIGHT has to be adjusted to the same
network as all the other network components. The next steps
describe how to set the network address in SYMPHOLIGHT. For
further information about SYMPHOLIGHT, please refer to the
SYMPHOLIGHT User Manual.
