Right. When you launch the frontend for the first time, you're asked
to provide the backend IP address and mysql username/password/
database. once it knows how to connect, you're good to go. You also
should give your frontend a unique identifier. This information is
stored along with your other frontend configuration options on the
backend server so when you connect, the backend knows which frontend
is connecting and which settings are to be used.
