Installation 

Installing kDynamo is a straightforward process:  The acquirer configures the encryption keys and EMV 
terminal / 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 setting up solutions that incorporate kDynamo, including host software, connecting the 
device, and mounting the device. 

2.1

 

About Host Software 

In any solution, kDynamo is connected to a 

host

, which must have software installed that knows how to 

communicate with the device, and which is capable of performing actions intended to be carried out when 
a cardholder swipes, inserts, or taps a card or contactless payment device.  To set up the host software to 
work with kDynamo, follow the installation and configuration instructions provided by the vendor of the 
host or the host software.  For details about developing host software, see section 

5 Developing Custom 

Software

. 

 
Some connection types may also require installation of device drivers on the host.  To set up any 
necessary drivers, see the connection-specific “How To” sections in section 

2.2 Connecting to a Host
