Running the WCCUtility 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 WCCUtility.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.
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\WCCUtility 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.

location fi eld and the port number (39289) in the Port Number
location fi eld.
Left-click <Print> 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\
WCCUtility subdirectory. This data fi le is not a viewable type of
