About Terminology
In this document, DynaFlex products are referred to as the
device
. They are 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 customer service representative, while the device interacts with the
cardholder
(even
if the cardholder is using a virtual representation of the card account, such as a smartphone).
