How to Start or Run the WCC3.exe
Program (SS5021)
The WCC3.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 WCC3.exe program, double-click the left mouse button
the Shortcut Icon 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 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.
Using your mouse, please left-click on the
button. The Remote Access Dialog Window will appear.
By selecting , the WCC3.exe program will now start to
connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address
connection. It should bring up the WCC III 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 WCC3.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 WCC3.exe program,
but instead you will be connected to the WCC III Main Menu.
This connection to the WCC III Main Menu is not an actual IP
connection, but rather a “dummy” WCC III main menu screen
window with no values. This “dummy” WCC III main menu
screen window will allow you to view and see what the actual
WCC3.exe screens will look like – minus any data.
In the Set Password Dialog Screen enter an “Operator:”
identifi cation and a “Code:” or password equal to at least a pass
level 0 that has been previously set up on the WCCIII System
Parameter – Operator Code Screen. (See the Operator Code
Screen of the System Parameter Screen in Section 3 for information
on setting up Operator Codes) Click
, if the
“Current Pass Level:” stays at 0 or higher (1, 2, or 3) then click
. By selecting , the WCC3.exe program will now start
to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP
address connection. It should bring up the WCC III Main Menu
within a new window. If the “Current Pass Level:” changes to
–1 then you do not have access to the WCCIII – MCD. If you
do not have access to the WCCIII – MCD and you click
then this connection to the WCC III Main Menu is not an actual IP
connection, but rather a “dummy” WCC III Main Menu window
with no values. This “dummy” WCC III Main Menu window will
allow you to view and see what the actual WCC3.exe screens will
look like – minus any data.
