Pairing versus connecting

Communication between the CT8X2 and MC-X1 uses a pairing process to enable subsequent connections between MC-X1 and the CT8X2.

First connection

3D-MC tells you to do the pairing process first. It creates a trusted relationship between the CT8X2 and the MC-X1.
Notice:
You must follow the onscreen instructions to successfully complete the pairing process to have a connection between the CT8X2 and the MC-X1.

Subsequent connections

Subsequent connections are automatic after a successful pairing. This happens when the paired CT8X2 and MC-X1 are online. Active communication occurs between a paired CT8X2 and MC-X1.
If an automatic connection fails the system gives you two options: Pair to Machine and Connect to Machine.

Controls

Figure: Pair and connect controls
Pair to Machine
This starts the pairing process. You must enter your username and password. Pair to Machine is necessary if the CT8X2 is used with another machine.
Connect to Machine
This process uses your saved username and password to connect to the machine. If this process fails, you must complete Pair to Machine again.
Note: If a different CT8X2 display uses the MC-X1, a warning shows when the auto-pairing process starts. If you continue the pairing process, the system disconnects the currently connected CT8X2.

MC-X1 already connected to another device

If the MC-X1 is connected to a different CT8X2 and auto pairing process starts, a warning message shows:
Warning:
The MC-X1 is already connected to a different CT8X2. Would you like to reconfigure?
If you select Yes, the system starts the pair to machine process and disconnects the currently connected CT8X2.
