Hi all
I am having trouble connecting to our new PowerPc card using EPICS r3.14.3.
I have built EPICS base and some of the extensions.
I can boot the ioc with an epics database (the demo.db one fron the
sequencer extension)

I can access the datebase when logged into the ioc from a console ie
dbpf, dbgf and dbl commands all work

and I can access the various pv fields.
I cannot access the database from outside the ioc using caget or medm.
caget returns an "Invalid channel name" when

accessing any of the PowerPC PV's although it is quite happy to access
the other iocs running EPICS R3.13.1
I tried to telnet to port 5064 on the ioc but it reports connection
refused. It looks like the ioc isn't listening on this port.

The only tcp ports it recognises are 23, 111 and 513

Any suggestions as to whats missing in the ioc?
regards
Dennis Armstrong
