How do I get EPICS applications to work with a Mac OS X firewall?
These instructions apply to OS X 10.6 and higher
Start the System Preferences application
Select the “Security & Privacy” pane
Select the “Firewall” tab
Open the lock to allow changes
Ensure that the firewall is on
Click the “Advanced” button
Add your EPICS applications (e.g. caRepeater, caget, camonitor, caput, StripTool, edm, soft IOCs, etc.) to the list and set the firewall to “Allow incoming connections” to them
