Hi Adam,

> I have tried disconnecting the asyn port and asynManager's freeAsynUser.

A frequent source of confusion is that the word "disconnect" is used in 2 completely different contexts in asyn.  The first is asynManager::disconnect, the second is asynCommon::disconnect.

This is the documentation for pasynManager->disconnect
*************************************************
Disconnect the asynUser from the port,addr to which it is connected via a previous call to connectDevice. The call will fail if the asynUser is queued or locked, or has a callback registered via exceptionCallbackAdd.  Note that asynManager:disconnect and asynCommon:disconnect are completely different.
*************************************************

This is the documentation for pasynManager->disconnect
*************************************************
Disconnect from the hardware device or communication path. The queueRequest must specify priority asynQueuePriorityConnect.
*************************************************

You said you "tried disconnecting the asyn port" and that did not work.  I suspect that perhaps you called pasynManager::disconnect?  All that does is to remove the association of that asynUser structure with a particular port and address.  It does not cause the underlying device to be disconnected from asyn, e.g. closing a socket.  The reason is simple: there could be many such asynUser structures associated with that port,addr.  This provides a way to re-use the asynUser structure to be connected to another port and address.

asynCommon::disconnect causes the port to be disconnected from the device itself, e.g. to close the socket.

Subject: Possible to close a TCP/IP socket in asyn?

Is it possible to close a socket created with drvAsynIPPortConfigure? I
have tried disconnecting the asyn port and asynManager's freeAsynUser.

Thanks,
Adam.
