Hi David,

 

You could use this driver as an example:

https://github.com/epics-modules/quadEM/blob/master/quadEMApp/src/drvNSLS_EM.cpp

 

It creates 3 drvAsynIPPorts in the driver itself. One is UDP, 2 are TCP.  Using that approach you can just pass the IP address to the xxxConfigure command and constructor, and then the calls to drvAsynIPPortConfigure are done in the driver itself, not in the startup script.

 

I think this approach should work fine, you don’t need to use the raw socket calls.

 

I don’t remember why I used the raw socket calls for the Pixirad driver.  It may just be that I did not realize I could use drvAsynIPPort.

 

Mark
