Hi Mark,

This is from the release notes for 3.16.1, from about 5 years ago:

Channel Access "modernization"

Drop support for CA clients advertising protocol versions less than 4.

This effects clients from Base older than 3.12.0-beta1. Newer clients will continue to be able to connect to older servers. Older clients will be ignored by newer servers.

This allows removal of UDP echo and similar protocol features which are not compatible with secure protocol design practice.

Another possibility is that some other non-EPICS device may be opening a TCP socket and sending data to the IOC server that it thinks might be the start of a legitimate connection.

If your colleague has a client built against a CA client library that predates 3.12.0-beta1 which can’t be recompiled, it should be possible to put a CA gateway between it and the newer IOC to do the appropriate protocol translation.

- Andrew

A colleague is running an IOC on which he is seeing these messages:

I have never seen those before.  What cause cause a "Client version too old" error?


Thanks,
