8 Mounting and installation
Mount the Butler PRO DC in a standard 19-inch rack system. Use appropriate rack screws, cage nuts and
spring clips for mounting.
8.1 Unit distribution
As the Butler PRO DC 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 DC with the outputs of the Ethernet switch and with power.

12 Online conguration with Programmer
Connect the Butler PRO DC via a switch to a system runnung e:cue’s Lighting Application Suite; start the
Programmer.
Select the Network tab
in the status window in the upper left. Any Butler PRO DC devices
which are connected to the network should appear in the list. If
they do not show up in the list, check if the IP address settings for
your computer are correct and the network range is
192.168.123.*, the default address of any new Butler PRO DC is
192.168.123.1. Please also make sure your re wall does not
prevent communication between the computer and the Butler
PRO DC. The Butler PRO DC should become visible.
Click on the Butler PRO DC line in the Network display, this opens the device conguration dialog. Here you
can set all driver properties of the Butler PRO DC. The IP address typically this
should read 192.168.123.1 at this stage, when the Butler PRO DC is still set to factory defaults.
yAssign a new IP address e.g. 192.168.123.200.
yUse the same procedure for the remaining network
parameters: Subnet Mask - usually 255.255.255.0, Gateway – no
gateway
yGive the Butler PRO DC a unique name.
yApply the changes with the Ok button.
The parameters to congure in online mode are the same as
conguring the Butler PRO DC manually. Additionally a new password
may be set and the DMX parameters can be changed. Parameters in
grey are read-only and cannot be changed, like the MAC address or
the version numbers. If the password is omitted, the setup will not be
protected.

When nished close the device setup dialog with Ok.
12.2 Connecting more than one Butler PRO DC
In case you have several Butlers PRO DC they need to be congured one at a time. Do not connect all of them
to the network immediately! This is due to the fact that the devices all come with the same IP-address by
factory default. If they are connected simultaneously an IP-address conict will occur and conguration is not
possible. Instead, connect the Butlers PRO DC one at a time. Connect the rst Butler PRO DC and assign a
new IP-address to the device (e.g. 192.168.123.11). Repeat this sequence until all devices have been assigned
with an individual IP-address. In a next step all devices can be hooked up to the connecting network.
