SECTION 2: INITIA TING THE SYSTEM

__________________________________________

After the satellite controllers have been installed and powered up, the WCC III - MCD set up, and the 2-wire communications line connected between all of the satellite controllers and also connected to the WCC III - MCD, then the WCC III data ﬁ les need to be loaded into the WCC III - MCD. This is best accomplished by using the WCC “mcd-menu” batch ﬁ le, remotely with the Webmin program or by directly using the Linux command prompt on the WCC III - MCD.

NOTE: When converting the WCC II data ﬁ les to WCC III

type data ﬁ les. The WCC II data ﬁ les have to be converted to the new WCC III type data ﬁ les using the WCCUtilities. exe program. Then these new WCC III data ﬁ les need to be installed on the WCC III - MCD. This is best accomplished by using the WCC “mcd-menu” batch ﬁ le, remotely with the Webmin program, or by directly using the Linux command prompt on the WCC III - MCD.

LIMITEDITOR.EXE, and WGCC.EXE(SS5029). All of these ﬁ les are available on different installation CDs.

MCD System Files

The Backtask program on the MCD is stored on the solid state hard disk, so after boot-up, the system start up ﬁ les will cause the Backtask Program to run.

CAUTION: The MCD will not communicate with the satellite

controllers while it is going through the “re-boot” process. If the satellite controllers do not communicate with the MCD for approximately three minutes, they will go into local set. The time it takes for the system to “re-boot” should not cause the satellite controllers to go into local set.

The hard disk can hold a vast amount of data which can accidentally be erased or lost due to system malfunction, operator error, etc. Therefore it is extremely important to make a back-up copy of the data on the hard disk. As you program a system to control a building, information is written on the disks. Therefore, back-up copies of programming data ﬁ les on the hard disk should be made after the system has been programmed to control the building. This can be done remotely through the WCC Utility program.

The WCC III – MCD has two solid state hard drives, one that has the Linux operating system along with the backtask program, and one that has the daily/monthly WCC III backup data ﬁ les on it.

A USB thumb drive can be used to shufﬂ e the data in and out of the WCC III – MCD. Another program called “Webmin” is primarily used to administer the more advanced setup features on the WCC III –MCD. This “Webmin” program requires an internet browser, such as Mozilla, or Microsoft Internet Explorer to function. This “Webmin” program can be used over the internet/intranet or locally with a network crossover cable or even a serial null modem cable. The “Webmin” program is pre-installed on the Linux OS hard drive on the WCC III – MCD.

There are three password levels for the “Webmin” program, one for the simple user, one for the contractor level, and one for the WattMaster factory administrator.

WCC III System Files

The WCC III system ﬁ les include the following:

WCC3.EXE(SS5021), SCUSCR.EXE(SS5026), WCCUTILITY. EXE(SS5023), TENANTOVERRIDE.EXE(SS5024), TENANTREPORT.EXE(SS5025), WCC3TRENDLOG. EXE(SS5028), WCC3DOWNLOAD.EXE(SS5030), WCC3GUEST.EXE(SS5022), SCUSCRLtd.EXE(SS5027),

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:\ Programs\WCCIII\WCC3 subdirectory on the WCC III Front end computer.

Assigning Operator Access Codes

Access codes can be assigned for up to 16 operators with 4 levels of access. The systems are sent from the factory with an operator number of 33333 and an access number of 3333. To assign other codes, follow the steps in this section.

Step 1: With the WCC III Main Menu showing on the

screen, place the cursor on “System Parameters” and press

<Enter> to access the System Parameter Screen. The System

Parameter Screen should come into view with the computer

awaiting the operator ID.

Step 2: Input the factory set identiﬁ cation number of 33333

and press <Enter>. The numbers at the top of the keyboard must be used. The cursor will automatically move to the right and await the code ID.

Step 3: Input the factory set code number of 3333 and press

<Enter>. The message to the right of the cursor should change

from “

View Screen Only” to “View All Codes.”

Step 4: Use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the

right of the “View All Codes” message.

NOTE: To access the system, the password codes must be

entered exactly as they were entered on this screen, including any spaces which were entered using the space bar.

Passw ord Entry

To be able to make any changes to the inputs in the system, you must have a password which has either a level 1, level 2 or level 3 access assigned to it. You enter your password by following the steps in this section.

Step 1: With the Main Menu showing on the screen, place

the cursor on “System Parameters” and press <Enter> to access the System Parameter Screen. The System Parameter Screen should come into view with the computer awaiting the operator ID.

Step 2: Input your assigned operator code and press

<Enter>. The cursor will automatically move to the right and

await the code ID.

Step 5: Press <Enter> and the screen will appear which

will allow codes for 16 operators with 4 levels of access. The descriptions of the access levels are listed at the bottom of this screen.

Step 6: Access codes can be assigned for the operators

who will be using the system. The operator ID can be up to 16 characters but is generally 5 characters using any letters, numbers, or symbols. The code ID can be up to 10 characters but is generally 4 characters using any letters, numbers, or symbols. The system will distinguish between small and capital letters. To assign an operator ID, type the desired characters and press

<Enter>. The cursor will automatically

move to the right and await the code ID. Type the desired code ID and press <Enter>. The cursor will now automatically move to the right and await the Level access number. Type in this Level number (1 through 3, 1 being the lowest and 3 being the highest) and press

Step 7: After the codes have been entered, make sure you

<Enter>.

know what the codes are before leaving this screen. We recommend leaving the 33333, 3333 access code until the other codes are tested. To leave this screen, press

<HOME>

twice to return to the System Parameter Screen. Press

<HOME> once more to return to the Main Menu.

Step 3: Input your assigned code ID and press <Enter> You

are now “signed on” and may enter and/or change data as necessary.

NOTE: You must enter your exact password. The system

distinguishes between upper and lower case letters, and it recognizes spaces which are created using the

<space bar> .
