MMSI programming Introduction
MMSI programming Introduction
Before an Cortex Hub can transmit your position over AIS you must configure your
vessel details and enter a valid MMSI number.
You can configure your MMSI using the Cortex Onboard App or a Cortex handset.
Your MMSI may have been entered by your dealer. You must have an assigned
MMSI for your vessel.
If you do not have an assigned MMSI, contact the relevant authority in your country.
Once you save the MMSI number you cannot change it. If you need to change the
MMSI, please contact an authorized dealer or Vesper Marine.
