| | | Authorizing remote tcl client connections | |
Since the ability to execute tcl commands over a remote connection is a security hazard (consider what you can do with the tcl exec command), tcl servers initially only allow connections from the localhost. To accept connections from other hosts, you must execute the serverauth command within the Readout program. To do this, source in a script (e.g. authorize.tcl) that contains a line like:
serverauth add u4pc1.nscl.msu.edu
where you must substitute the host name in the example above with the hostname of the system on which you will run the epics archiver (usually unpc1 where n is the data u in which you run.
To source this script in, on the ReadoutGUI click File->Source choose the file you want to source using the file chooser dialog window that pops up.
