How to Start or Run the WCCUtility.
exe Program (SS5023)
The WCCUtility.exe shortcut icon should have
been installed on your WCC III front end computer 
desktop with the WCC III Installation Software 
CD. The WCC III Installation Software CD is 
WattMaster Controls Part # DM1WC011-01X. 
To start the WCCUtility.exe program, double-click the left mouse 
button on the Shortcut Icon located on the Windows desktop.
After a short period of time, dependent upon the CPU speed of your 
Windows based computer and the speed of your IP connection to 
the internet, the WCC III Type Connection Dialog Box will appear. 
Server IP Address:
This is the static IP address of the WCC III – MCD. 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.) If you actually know the static IP address of the WCC 
III – MCD that you wish to connect to, please enter it here in the 
Server IP Address fi eld, or better yet, continue to the Remote Access 
Dialog Window by selecting the 
button.
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. 
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 WCCUtility.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. 
Using your mouse, left-click on the 
button.
The Remote Access Dialog Window will appear.
By selecting
, the WCCUtility.exe program will now start to
connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address 
connection. It should bring up the WCCUTILITY Set Password 
Dialog Screen within a new window. If the IP address connection 
fails to connect to the WCC III – MCD, then another small dialog 
box window will appear. This is the Cannot Communicate to 
Backtask Dialog Box.
If you click
, you will exit the WCCUtility.exe program. You
will have to fi gure out why you cannot connect to the WCC III – 
MCD via the IP address connection.
If you click
, you will not exit the WCCUtility.exe program,
but instead you will be connected to the WCCUTILITY Set 
Password Dialog Screen within a new window. This connection 
to the WCCUTILITY Set Password Dialog Screen is not an 
actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” WCCUTILITY Set 
Password Dialog screen. Once you click
 
, you will exit the
WCCUtility.exe program and a message will be displayed stating 
“Password level has to be higher or equal to three in order to run 
Wcc3Utility!”.
