Yes there is different symbology between Interactive Brokers and the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed US equities symbols, and you do have to set up the symbol mapping between the two different symbols.

This can be done through the Global Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings

This is an example of the kind of settings that you need to use:
<settings>
<security-type>stock</security-type>
<symbol>?????</symbol>
<external-service-symbol>?????-STK-SMART-USD</external-service-symbol>
<category>Stocks</category>
<value-format-code>2</value-format-code>
<tick-size>0.01</tick-size>
<use-pattern-matching-characters>true</use-pattern-matching-characters>
<currency-value-per-tick>0.01</currency-value-per-tick>
<description></description>
<default-order-quantity>100</default-order-quantity>
<historical-chart-symbol>?????</historical-chart-symbol>
<historical-multiplier>1</historical-multiplier>
<sc-data-symbol>?????</sc-data-symbol>
<sc-data-symbol-multiplier>1</sc-data-symbol-multiplier>
<sc-data-srvcode>equities.us</sc-data-srvcode>
<time-zone>EST-05EDT+01,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/02:00</time-zone>
<intraday-start-time>09:30:00</intraday-start-time>
<intraday-stop-time>15:59:59</intraday-stop-time>
<intra-evening-start-time>16:00:00</intra-evening-start-time>
<intra-evening-stop-time>09:29:59</intra-evening-stop-time>
<use-evening-session-times>false</use-evening-session-times>
<realtime-data-client>SC_Exchange_Data_Service_Sub_Client_2</realtime-data-client>
<historical-daily-data-source>SC_EXTERNAL_HISTORICAL_DATA_SERVICE</historical-daily-data-source>
<realtime-data-client>SC_Exchange_Data_Service_Sub_Client_2</realtime-data-client>
<supports-market-depth>false</supports-market-depth>
<currency>USD</currency>
</settings>

So you need to add a new symbol, and replace the ?s with the specific symbols.
