Connecting Touchcut To Primecut

In order to connect TouchCut to PrimeCut you will need to know the Server Name (i.e. the computer's network name or I.P. address) of the computer that is running the PrimeCut server. Ask your system administrator if you do not know this.

You will also need the MachineID number of the machine in the PrimeCut database. The MachineID number can be found in PrimeCut by clicking the Machines button on the right hand side, and selecting the machine being set up from the drop-down list. The "Database Identifier" field is the MachineID number. Kinetic's default is 9, but any unique number will work.
