CA beacon question

[Pierrick Hanlet <hanlet@fnal.gov>]

Hi all,
I have a few soft iocs I'm running on a linux box running SL 2.6.18...  My epics
version is 3.14.11.  I have a similar configuration for another control system elsewhere.
Because I have multiple servers on a single processor, I generally assign them different
ports (initially set up by a former colleague). The ports I'm using are 6721, 6722, 6723,
and 6724.  The firewall is not set up on this machine, so I don't know if there is something
else that I should be doing in the configuration.

When I run my iocs, I get a lot of CA beacon errors when I run my iocs.
../online_notify.c: CA beacon (send to "148.79.117.13:6724") error was "Connection refused"
../online_notify.c: CA beacon (send to "148.79.117.13:6722") error was "Connection refused"
../online_notify.c: CA beacon (send to "148.79.117.13:6724") error was "Connection refused"
../online_notify.c: CA beacon (send to "148.79.117.13:6722") error was "Connection refused"
../online_notify.c: CA beacon (send to "148.79.117.13:6724") error was "Connection refused"

I've spent a lot of time reading the CA manual and looked through techtalk and haven't
found a definitive solution to fixing this.  I'm under the impression that I need to set the
beacon environment variable, but to what?
Thanks,
Pierrick
