Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

I am trying to control (via channel access) a detector/IOC using the IDL MCA GUI. For reasons beyond my control, I cannot get this client to
install properly on a computer which lives on the same side of the firewall as the detector lives.

However, I can run the IDL MCA client on a different subnet (and on the other side of the firewall). [For those at APS, I want to run the client on oxygen (52 subnet), but my detector and it's IOC are behind a CAT firewall (namely 248 subnet).]

So, it possible for an EPICS client to talk to EPICS server through a firewall?

Yes, but you have to get a network administrator to poke some holes
in the firewall. By default, EPICS uses ports 5064 and 5065 for normal
CA traffic.
