not Connected

Strictly speaking this is not a state of the record at all, but a message from the CA client that it could not connect to the record. This happens if no CA server answers to the broadcast until a timeout. It can happen if you have network problems, the IOC is booted or you misspelled the record name.

Medm displays this with a white box where the value should be on the window. Some other programs in the SLS controls system use Pink.

Please make sure that none of your clients show not connected records during standard operation. This will cause new broadcasts from the client every time an IOC is booted and this will load the network.
