Important Safety Instructions
! Read these instructions. @ Keep these instructions.
# Heed all warnings.
$Follow all instructions.
%Do not use this apparatus near water. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
^Clean only with dry cloth.

*Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
(This apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
BL Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
BM Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
BN Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by
the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus 
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
BO Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
BP Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug cord is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

SEE OWNERS MANUAL. VOIR CAHIER D’INSTRUCTIONS.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Il ne se trouve a l’interieur aucune piece pourvant entre reparée l’usager.
S’adresser a un reparateur compétent.
GThe lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product (i.e. this Quick Start Guide).
GCAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized plug supplied with the device with any extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the prongs can be fully inserted.
GPower Source: This Symetrix hardware uses a universal input supply that automatically adjusts to the applied voltage. Ensure that your AC mains voltage is somewhere between 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the power cord and connector specified for the product and your operating locale. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation. The appliance inlet and coupler shall remain readily operable once the apparatus has been installed.
GUser Serviceable Parts: There are no user serviceable parts inside this Symetrix product. In case of failure, customers inside the U.S. should refer all servicing to the Symetrix factory. Customers outside the U.S. should refer all servicing to an authorized Symetrix distributor. Distributor contact information is available online at: http://www.symetrix.co.

Software Installation
SymNet Composer is the software that provides real-time set-up and control of RADIUS AEC from a Windows PC environment.
Use one of the following procedures to install SymNet Composer on your computer.
From the CD-ROM:
1.Insert the CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2.Open “My Computer”. The “My Computer” icon is typically on your desktop or in the “Start” menu.
3.Double click on your CD-ROM drive. This is typically drive “D:\”. If your CD-ROM drive isn’t “D:\”, then substitute its drive letter.
4.Double-click “Setup.exe”.
From the Symetrix web site (http://www.symetrix.co):
1.Download the SymNet Composer software installer from the Symetrix web site.
2.Double-click on the file you just downloaded and follow the on screen directions to install.
After installing the software, refer to the Help File for full connection and configuration information.
Network Setup
About DHCP
RADIUS AEC boots with DHCP enabled by default. This means that as soon as you connect it to a network, it will look for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address. If a DHCP server is present, RADIUS AEC will obtain an IP
address from it. This process may take several minutes. With your PC attached to the same network, and thus getting its IP address from the same DHCP server, all will be ready to go.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, RADIUS AEC will not be able to obtain an IP address. While waiting, RADIUS AEC will default to a private IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x where x.x is the last four alphanumeric characters of RADIUS AEC’s MAC address (MAC address hex value is converted to decimal for IP address). RADIUS AEC’s MAC address can be found on a sticker on the bottom of hardware.
When there is no DHCP server present to assign IP addresses to either RADIUS AEC or your PC, you may need to configure your PC with a static IP in the range of 169.254.x.x with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 in order to communicate with RADIUS AEC in a direct connect mode. However, if your PC is using the default network settings,
it should also have automatically self-assigned a similar private IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x, and if this is the case, you should be able to connect to RADIUS AEC directly.
Even if the PC’s default settings have been changed, RADIUS AEC will try to establish communications by setting up appropriate routing table entries to reach devices with 169.254.x.x addresses.
Connecting to RADIUS AEC from a host computer on the same LAN
Both RADIUS AEC and the host computer require the following 3 items:
1.IP Address - The unique address of a node on a network.
2.Subnet Mask - Configuration that defines which IP Addresses are included in a particular subnet.
3.Default Gateway (optional) - The IP address of a device that routes traffic from one subnet to another. (This is only needed when the PC and RADIUS AEC are on different subnets).
If you are adding RADIUS AEC to an existing network, a network administrator will be able to provide the above information or it may have been provided automatically by a DHCP server. For security reasons, it is not recommended to put RADIUS AEC directly on the Internet. If you do, a network administrator or your Internet Service Provider can provide the above information.
If you are on your own private network, directly or indirectly connected to RADIUS AEC, you may allow RADIUS AEC to choose an automatic IP address or you may choose to assign it a static IP address. If you are building your own separate network with static assigned addresses, you may consider using an IP Address from one of the ”Private-Use” networks noted in RFC-1918:
1.172.16.0.0/12 = IP Addresses 172.16.0.1 through 172.31.254.254 and a Subnet Mask of 255.240.0.0
2.192.168.0.0/16 = IP Addresses 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.254.254 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0
3.10.0.0.0/8 = IP Addresses 10.0.0.1 through 10.254.254.254 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0
Connecting to RADIUS AEC through a Firewall/VPN
We have successfully tested control of RADIUS AEC through a firewall and VPN, but are unable to guarantee performance of these types of connections at this time. Configuration instructions are specific to each firewall and VPN, so specifics are not available. Additionally, wireless communications are also not guaranteed, though they have also been successfully tested.
