Hi Carl,
Many of those variables become specified when you use the command line
parameters -sip, -sport, -cip, -cport.
You probably want to set the variables
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=<the largest array you have in your whole system>
EPICS_CAS_BEACON_ADDR_LIST=<all networks where clients may run>
On a 32 bit machine you also probably want to limit the stack size per thread to
allow a large number of threads:

ulimit -s 2048
Best regards,
Dirk

Hi,
I am trying to get a CA gateway going. The gateway logs the following:

Starting EPICS CA gateway
Sep 19 16:35:28 PV Gateway Version 2.0.3.0 [Sep 11 2008 07:53:33]
EPICS 3.14.9 PID=15076
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=cag-hins-1.fnal.gov
EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO
EPICS_CA_SERVER_PORT=Not specified
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=Not specified
EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST=clx74.fnal.gov
EPICS_CAS_SERVER_PORT=Not specified
EPICS_CAS_IGNORE_ADDR_LIST=Not specified
Running as user schumann on host clx74.fnal.gov
Statistics PV prefix is clx74.fnal.gov

It reports many environment variables as "Not specified". Should I be
specifying them or will reasonable defaults be used?
Thanks,
Carl Schumann
