At the traffic node, the service message is entered through the user port for
delivery to the MIDAS Controller. On receiving the message, MIDAS
displays it on the operator workstation.

The service message is entered at the MIDAS operator workstation for
delivery to the traffic node. On receiving the message, the traffic node sends
the message to the device connected to the user port. The MIDAS will not
accept a service message for delivery if the message is addressed to a traffic
node that is not in the database.

There is no acknowledgment or re-transmission for MIDAS to traffic node
service messages. It is the operator’s responsibility to recover from lost service
messages.
