Onboard App Introduction

Cortex Onboard is a free Android and Apple 

iOS app that connects your phone or tablet 

to the WiFi of the M1.
Use the Cortex Onboard App to configure, 

manage and display M1 data. The 

Configuration Menu is used for initial 

configuration, AIS programming, network 

settings, firmware updates and input / 

output sensor setup.
Once the M1 is configured, the Cortex 

Onboard App provides access to all M1 

status and smartAIS display screens in a 

similar layout to a Cortex handset. 

See 

To update M1 firmware

 (pg24).
