Hi,

Maybe a better way is to directly the IPs using: Preferences > CSS Core > EPICS > addr_list
However for me this only works with specific IP and not broadcast range: Maybe you should try xx.xx.19.0/24

Cheers,

Hello,

My problem is: I have two soft IOCs running on a Mac (Yosemite) and I can't seem to get CSS to connect to both simultaneously.  CSS connects to each individually without issue.  In the terminal, I can use caget/caput to drive both devices simultaneously.

I see this problem has shown up in this email list before, but the suggestion seems to be to fix the CA.  As I'm able to get caget/caput to work, though, I'm not sure it's a problem with CA.  Frankly, it's not yet clear to me where exactly one should modify the myriad of environment variables discussed.  The best I've found so far is two variables defined in base/startup/Site.profile.  Currently I have:

 EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=YES
 EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST="xx.xx.19.255 127.0.0.1"

Where in the second I put both the "broadcast" IP and the local IP.  I've tried various settings here.  No solution yet.  I have also put these into my ~/.bash_profile for good measure.

I also see the opposite of what others report: the first ioc started is the one that CSS connects to, not the last.
