Installing the Program
SECTION 7: TENANTREPORT.EXE PROGRAM (SS5025)
The TenantReport.exe program is used in conjunction with the Tenant Override program. The TenantReport.exe program generates a monthly / yearly paper report that keeps track of individual end user Tenant Overrides with start times, dates, and a current run time, that are generated by the each and every end user Tenant Override program. This is mainly used for after hours billing of equipment usage, and the timed usage of said equipment is then kept track of for each and every tenant in this manner.
How to Start or Run the TenantR eport. exe Program (SS5025)
TheTenantReport.exe shortcut icon should have
been installed on your WCC III front end computer desktop with the WCC III Installation Software CD. This WCC III Installation Software CD is WattMaster Controls Part # DM1WC011­01X.
T o start the T enantReport.exe program, double-click the left mouse button on the Shortcut Icon located on the Windows desktop.
After a short period of time, and this time period is dependent upon the CPU speed of your Windows based computer and the speed of your IP connection to the internet, the WCC III Connection Dialog Box will appear.
Port Number:
The WCCUtility.exe program opens a two-way, secure comm­unications port that then allows for communication between WCC III - MCD and the T enantReport.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.
By selecting <OK>, the T enantreport.exe program will now start to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address connection. It should bring up the Tenant Report Set Password Dialog Screen. 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 <Yes>, you will exit the Tenantreport.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 <No>, you will not exit the T enantreport.exe program, but instead you will be connected to the T enant Report Set Password Dialog Screen. This is not an actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” Tenant Report Set Password Dialog screen. Once you
click <OK>, you will be connected to the WCC III Tenant Report Screen. This connection to the WCC III - MCD is not an actual IP
connection, but rather a “dummy” Tenant Report Screen with no values, allowing you to view and see what the actual T enantreport. exe screen will look like – minus any data.
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 what 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.
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.
WCC III Technical Guide
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 <Check
Password>. If the “Current Pass Level:” stays at 0 or higher (1,
2, or 3), then click <OK>. By selecting <OK>, the Tenantreport. exe program will now start to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address connection. It should bring up the TenantReport Screen 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 <OK> then this connection to the Tenantreport.exe program is not an actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” Tenant Report screen window with no values.
