WCC III Technical Guide 3-2
The Remote Access Dialog Box will allow you to enter multiple
WCC III – MCD IP addresses based upon “Job Site” names. This
is done by typing in the name of the jobsite you wish to call your
system.
First you must select a “BLANK” line in the bottom box area
with your left mouse button. (This line will then be highlighted
in “Blue”.) You must then enter a Job Site name in the “Job Site”
fi eld, along with the static IP address and Port number (39289) for
the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCC3.
exe program.
If you are using a static “Host Name” instead of a static IP address
please make sure that the Dynamic Address check box has been
selected, along with the static “Host Name” in the space provided.
As mentioned previously, you must get this static “Host Name”
from your internet service provider, and it is limited to 58 characters
total.
Please note that this “Job Site” name will also be the name of a
subdirectory that will automatically be created in the Local disk
C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory on the WCC III
Front end computer. The Remote Access Dialog Box also creates
a JobSite.dat data fi le in the C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCC3
subdirectory. This data fi le is not a viewable type of fi le. The
JobSite.dat fi le can be copied and then can be used on other WCC
III front end computers. This reused JobSite.dat will then recreate
the needed “Job Site” subdirectories on the other WCC III front
end computers upon the reselection of the Job Site IP address.
In an already fi lled out Remote Access Dialog Box, you can simply
select from the list of previously entered Job Sites that are displayed
in the bottom box fi eld. Then left-click
. This will take you
back to the Connection Dialog Box that was fi rst displayed. This
Connection Dialog Box now should have the desired IP address in
the Server IP Address location fi eld and the port number (39289)
in the Port Number location fi eld for the WCC III – MCD that you
wish to connect to with the WCC3.exe program.
IP Address:
This is the static IP address where the WCC III – MCD is located.
An IP Address is like a phone number on the world wide web.
The IP address for the WCC III – MCD must be static (does not
change) as opposed to Dynamic (constantly changing). This static
IP Address must be provided by your internet service provider.
(A static IP address is the preferred IP connection method for the
WCC III system to function.)
Port Number:
The WCC3.exe program opens a two-way, secure communications
port that then allows for communication between the WCC III –
MCD and the WCC3.exe program that is running on the WCC
III front end computer. This IP Address connection is done on a
higher address port number than normal (WCC III connection is
port number 39289) to help reduce the risk of computer hacking.
Job Site:
This is the name of the jobsite you wish to call your system. Please
note that this name will also be the name of a subdirectory that
will automatically be created in the Local disk C:\ProgramFiles\
WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory.
Host Name:
You can use a Dynamic IP Address with the WCC III – MCD,
but you must then have what is called a static “Host Name”. This
static “Host name” must then be provided by your internet service
provider and is limited to 58 total characters.
When you have fi lled out all necessary fi elds, left-click .
This will take you back to the Connection Dialog Box that was
fi rst displayed. This Connection Dialog Box now should have the
desired IP address in the Server IP Address location fi eld and the
port number (39289) in the Port Number location fi eld for the
WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCC3.exe
program.
Left-click to return to the Connection Dialog Box that
was fi rst displayed. The Connection Dialog Box will have the
same IP address as listed originally before in the Server IP Address
location fi eld and the port number (39289) in the Port Number
location fi eld.
Left-click to send all of this data in this Remote Access
Dialog Box to your Windows system default printer on the WCC
III front end computer. This print function is provided to give you
a hard paper backup copy of these IP address for the various WCC
III – MCD that you may have. This print function also creates a
Printscreen.dat data fi le in the C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCC3
subdirectory. This data fi le is not a viewable type of fi le.
