Setup Manual - Butler S2
Overview
The e:cue Butler S2 is a DMX/RDM engine that can be used either in standalone
mode to replay and loop previously uploaded lighting shows, or as a DMX output
device controlled by another e:cue server with an e:net connection. It is programmed using a PC or the e:cue Lighting Control Engine running the e:cue
software suite. One compact Butler controls up to 1024 DMX channels in two
DMX universes. Up to 99 cuelists for shows in standalone mode are stored on a
micro SD card. The DMX channel control can be increased to 16,384 channels by
clustering more Butler S2s. The Butler is powered by an external power supply with
12 - 24 V DC or via 48 V DC PoE (Power over Ethernet). A 7-segment LED is used
for message and status display.
Transport
Only transport the Butler S2 in its original packaging. This protects the device from
damage. Only unpack the at its installation location. To protect the device against
condensation water, unpack it and wait until all moisture remaining in the Butler S2
has evaporated. Condensation can occur when the device is moved from a cold to
a warm location.
Inspect the delivery content
Unpack the Butler S2 and inspect all parts for completeness. Keep the packaging
for use in case of further transport. If there is apparent damage to the device or
parts are missing from the delivery scope, please contact e:cue service.

r E S
»LOAd« Butler S2 is in bootloader mode. This display may result
from an incomplete firmware update or when the system button
is pressed while powering up the Butler S2.
»Crd« Card error, the microSD card is missing, a le is corrupt
or a read error occured. Press the button, if the error reappears rewrite the card.
»SEr« Serial number error. The reading of the serial number
failed. Repower system. If the error reappears contact your
e:cue service.
The Butler S2 executes a soft reset after the System button was
pressed for at least four seconds.
Power supply
The Butler S2 can be powered by an external AC/DC power supply or via Powerover-Ethernet (PoE). The power supply must deliver a supply current of 250 mA.
Only use the e:cue power supply. The PoE supply voltage is 48 V DC. Power-overDMX is not supported.
When using Power-over-Ethernet do not connect any power supply
physically to the DC Input of the Butler S2. Otherwise the power feed
from Ethernet will not be recognized.
e:net
Use standard CAT5 (RJ45) network cabling for e:net.
Please remember that e:net requires an isolated network segment
and cannot operate properly when using e.g. internet or video/audio
streaming in the same network simultaneously.

DMX
The DMX output is taken from the RJ45 connectors labeled „DMX1“ and „DMX2“.
To connect DMX using a XLR5 type plug, please use the adaptor cable, item
number 40005, available as e:cue accessory or contact your nearest e:cue distributor for a suitable adaptor cable.

During system boot
• Keeping the system button pressed while powering up the Butler S2 starts the
bootloader mode and displays L O A d , no further loading happens.
• Keeping the system button pressed for three seconds, the Butler S2 displays
d E F . If the system button is released now no changes are made.
• If you keep the system button pressed for additional three seconds all parameters including the IP address will be reset to factory settings. The IP address is
now 192.168.123.1 again.
During normal operation in online mode
• When in online mode, connected to the Programmer, a short press marks this
12
Setup Manual - Butler S2
Butler S2 in the Network tab with a small asterisks. This helps to identify the
Butler S2 in a Butler Garage or in a huge configuration. Additionally the assigned
Action is triggered.
In standalone mode and during normal operation
• When pressed for a short time (less than six seconds) the Butler S2 executes the
Action assigned to the system button. See the Lighting Application Suite System
Manual for a detailed list of assignable Actions.
• Keeping the button pressed for more than six seconds a fast blinking r E S gets
displayed. If the button is released now a soft reset is executed and the Butler S2
returns to normal operation.
• Keeping the button pressed for more than 12 seconds a fast blinking d E F is
displayed. Releasing the button now resets the configuration of the Butler S2 to
factory settings. This includes the IP, which is then 192.168.123.1 again.
• If you keep the button pressed for more than 18 seconds no changes are made.
In standalone mode and in an error condition
• A short press acknowledges the error and restarts the system.
microSD card
The Butler S2 comes with a microSDHC card. The Butler S2 cannot operate if no
microSD card is present. As a typical show file and configuration files do not take
up more than a few Megabytes space, it is generally not necessary to replace the
provided microSD card with a bigger one. If the microSD card has been removed
during operation and is restored, the show may be continued by pressing the button on the device – otherwise you need to reboot.
Do not remove the SD card while the Butler S2 is in operation!

System configuration
For a complete overview of other functions like clustering and assignments of Actions and programming of shows see the System Manual for the Lighting Application Suite, available for download from www.traxontechnologies.com for free.
The Butler S2 can either be configured in standalone mode without the Lighting
Application Suite and only with a web browser and a PC, or it can be setup in online
mode with the Lighting Application Suite. Configuration in standalone mode is most
recommended when the Butler S2 has his factory settings.
Using the standalone web interface
You can set the network parameters of the Butler S2 without any other system using a standard web browser on any PC or PC-like system.
Connect the Butler S2 with power and via a standard LAN patch cable over an
Ethernet switch to the server (LCE or PC). If you want to connect the Butler S2
without Ethernet switch to the server use a so called cross cable, as not all Ethernet
interfaces support automatic RX/TX detection.
