boilerplate will not connect to cncjs server

[ColPaulR]

I downloaded and unzipped the files, then started CNCjs on Mac from command line. I'm using the Desktop App, which appears to randomize the port. The boilerplate will not connect. I ran the code with Debug on Visual Studio Code and the io.connect call returns a socket with state "connected" = false and "disconnected" = true. I also installed cncjs-shopfloor-tablet-master just to makes sure that something will connect to the App. Shopfloor-table works. Is there anything in the .cncrc file I'm supposed to include for the pendant or anything I need to do to get the code to connect?
