Installation 

Installing DynaFlex products is straightforward:  The manufacturer or acquirer configures the preferred 
settings, keys, and terminal and payment brand settings before deployment; end users need only set up a 
host with appropriate software, configure the software, and connect the device to the host.  This section 
provides general information about inspecting, connecting, and installing DynaFlex or DynaFlex Pro. 

4.1

 

About Inspection 

Before unpacking the device, it is important to inspect its secure packaging to make sure it has not been 
tampered with in storage or in transit.  MagTek provides details for inspecting the integrity of the device’s 
secure packaging in 

D998200361 DynaFlex Package Inspection

 
It is also important to regularly and thoroughly inspect a new device before deployment, and a device in 
live usage (including its immediate surroundings) to make sure malicious individuals have not tampered 
with it.  MagTek recommends conducting inspection training for all device operators, and an inspection 
schedule with checkpoints in place to make sure operators are performing inspections as specified and as 
scheduled.  MagTek provides an easy-to-follow device inspection reference in

About Host Software 

In any solution, DynaFlex or DynaFlex Pro is connected to a host, which must have software installed 
that knows how to communicate with the device, and which is capable of processing transactions.  To set 
up the host to work with DynaFlex or DynaFlex Pro, follow the installation and configuration instructions 
provided by the vendor of the host or the host software.  For information about developing custom host 
software, see section
