About Solution Planning
A smooth deployment of a DynaPro Mini solution requires some up-front planning and decision-making:
Determine what type of
host
DynaPro Mini will connect to. This can be a computer or portable
device with a USB port or with Bluetooth 4.0 hardware that supports Bluetooth LE. When planning,
include any additional support or devices required by the host and DynaPro Mini, such as physical
locations, mounting, power connections, and charging stations.
Determine what
software
will be installed on the host and how it will be configured. Software can
include operating system, transaction processing software, security software, and so on. Include any
additional support required by the software, such as network connections.
Determine how DynaPro Mini will be physically
presented
to the cardholder.
Select which
connection type
the solution will use. DynaPro Mini has a Bluetooth LE transceiver
and a Micro-USB connector.
Determine how DynaPro Mini should be
configured
, and specify that when you order devices.
Determine the
charging schedule(s) and location(s)
. For example, in high-traffic mission-critical
solutions, it may be most appropriate to keep multiple devices charging for fast swap-out.

About Terminology
In this document, DynaPro Mini is referred to as the
device
. It is designed to be connected to a
host
,
which is a piece of general-purpose electronic equipment which can send commands and data to, and
receive data from, the device. Host types include PC and Mac computers/laptops, tablets, and
smartphones. Generally, the host must have
software
installed that communicates with the device and is
capable of processing transactions. During a transaction, the host and its software interact with the
operator
, such as a cashier or bank teller, while the device interacts with the
cardholder
.
