Yes. I set up "EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST" but still ca_test in R312Beta13 could
not find the channel. ca_test from older version R312Beta0 can find the
channel when  "EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST" is set up, however.

Yes. IOC and WS can talk to each other with TCP/IP.

When I used ca_test in R312Beta13 , no output was produced on IOC. 
Older ca_test  produced a lot.

EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST on IOC keeps just broad cast address of the sub-network
on which IOC's are connected. Shoud it includes IP addresses of the 
OPI's as well?

I don't have both of them on our HP-WS. I'm going to install them.

Thank both of you for your help.
