FAQs

  • Is Cognio going to be backwards compatible with any current Symetrix DSPs?
    • No. Cognio is not backwards compatible with Composer-based DSPs.
  • Can I use my existing Symetrix T-Series touchscreens with Cognio?
    • Yes, the T-5 v2, T-7, and T-10 work as Managed Devices on panel firmware 9.0.4 or later. T-5 v1 touchscreens, the original T-5 and the original T-5 Glass, are not supported. See T-Series Touchscreens.
  • Will the control protocol be the same as Composer and Integrator Series?
    • ...
  • Do Cognio site files or hardware have the same PIN and password security capabilities of Composer?
    • ...
  • Are Cognio DSPs coupled with the unit serial number OR can I find my device serial number from within Cognio?
    • No. Currently all Symetrix DSP's serial numbers are located on the back and/or bottom of the unit shown as an "80-..." number and are not tied to the unit MAC address. This means serial numbers cannot be viewed from within Cognio.
