I put these two commands in my st.cmd file:

asynSetTraceMask( "L0",10,0xff)
asynSetTraceIOMask( "L0",10,0x2) 

I assume that I did what you suggested.  I am not sure what is traceIOMask=255?

This is what I did:
1. Reboot the gateway,
2. Start IOC.  I get many trace messages.
3. Restart the IOC until it fails.  It failed on the fourth restart.  This time I got not one trace message.
4. I repeated the above and again on the fourth restart it failed.  Seems that some resource is being exhausted.

Thanks,
Zen

One suggestion would be to set asynTraceIOMask=2 and traceIOMask=255 for that asynPort in your startup script.  Then reboot the IOC until it fails and see if you can what is different in the traffic.

I am using ICS 8065 Ethernet - GPIB gateway.  The soft IOC is built with EPICS R3.14.9, asyn version 4.11, streamdevice version 2.4.  Sometime when I restart the IOC it dies with the following error:

I don't understand these error messages.  I need to understand in what way the gateway is failing so that I can explain my problem more intelligently to the tech support at ICS.  So, my question is how to interpret the messages listed above?

Are there other users of the ICS 8065 gateway?  Has anyone seen this problem? If so what is the solution?

Thanks,
Zen
