12. WCC III INSTALLATION
GUIDE
WCC III Technical Guide 12-5
In a typical WCC III - MCD networking setup, internet access
is through a DSL or Cable modem. This modem may then be
connected to a router with a built in switch, (or typically the router
with switch is also built-in to the modem) which is then connected
to the internal LAN of networked computers by Ethernet cabling.
The NAT enabled router is the only device that the Internet sees
as it holds the public IP address. On the other hand, the WCC III
– MCD, located behind the NAT enabled router, is invisible to the
Internet as it holds a local IP address on the NAT enabled router.
Port forwarding is necessary in the NAT enabled router because
computers that are running the WCC III program will send
information that is directed to the public IP address and the NAT
enabled router needs to know where to send and then redirect that
information to the WCC III – MCD.
NOTE: A DSL modem is not recommended due to yet
another layer of setup complexity. DSL modem/routers also
have a maximum distance from the local telephone company’s
main central offi ce. That distance is 18,000 feet.
Step 1: You will need a high-speed cable or DSL modem/router
that is NAT enabled and it must be setup by the ISP, or by IT
(Information Technology) knowledgeable personnel, and it must
also be connected to the Internet.
Step 2: The following three items are needed from your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) in order to set up the Cable / DSL
modem/router for stand alone internet access. The ISP should
have already supplied a sheet of paper that has this important
information on it.
