- Click on the search button of the WINDOWS task bar
- Search for "Visualizza Impostazioni di sistema Avanzate"
- In "Avanzate" tab, click "Variabili d'Ambiente"
- Create a new "System Vatiable" named EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST
- Insert the device IP. To insert multiple devices, insert multiple IP's, separated by black space.
