If you are using a MAC, it depends on the model of your Trotec laser machine whether you need a Windows PC as a server.
- If you have a "Run on Ruby® machine", you do not need a Windows PC as a server. The server is integrated directly into the Run on Ruby® machine.
- If you do not have a "Run on Ruby® machine", then follow the instructions to use a Windows PC in your local network that works as a server for your MAC.
You can use your Mac with Ruby®. All you need is a Windows PC in your local network that works as a server for your MAC.
Install Ruby® on the Windows PC connected to your laser, go to User Management and create a new user for your Mac.
