The "protocol selection" field of the SA380TX-L has been upgraded such that now the device can be configured to automatically detect the optimal protocol for messaging. This gives you one less thing to worry about during commissioning.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|
| UK NR | Forces the SA380TX-L to only use MIMOSA protocol - as used by Network Rail in the UK |
| mpec | Forces the SA380TX-L to only use mpec RailDAQ protocol - used by mpec for our global Centrix deployments |
| Automatic | Allows the SA380TX-L to select the optimal protocol to use with the server to which it is connected | Status |

| title | What is MIMOSA protocol? |
|---|
|
- MIMOSA is a human-readable text based protocol selected by Network Rail to allow data logging devices from different vendors to connect to the Network Rail Intelligent Infrastructure system.
- It is perfectly fit for purpose for the transmission of asset data, however, due to its text based nature, messages tend to be rather large, limiting throughput on 2G GPRS connected devices.
- Features such as device configuration, time sync and firmware upgrades, although possible, are not well supported by the protocol. This is not so much of an issue for Network Rail Intelligent Infrastructure users, as field devices generally have a resolvable IP interface over which such actions can be performed.
- MIMOSA protocol is supported by the Network Rail Intelligent Infrastructure system and Centrix.
