2 Installation
Installing tDynamo 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 tDynamo, including host software, connecting the
device, and mounting the device.

About Host Software

In any solution, tDynamo 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 payment method. To set up the host software to work with
tDynamo, 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.
