About Terminology
In this document, mDynamo 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 computers/laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Generally, the host
must have
software
installed that communicates with the device and is capable of processing
transactions. The combination of device(s), host(s), software, firmware, configuration settings, physical
mounting and environment, user experience, and documentation is referred to as the
solution
. During a
transaction, the host and its software interact with the
operator

device interacts with the
cardholder
.
