3 Planning and Preparation
The guidelines in the following sections will assist management and network administrators in planning
for the physical and network requirements of deploying and using DynaPro Go. The most effective way
to ensure smooth deployment of a solution is to consider these factors before receiving the device.
3.1

Logistical Planning

Determine what type of host DynaPro Go will connect to. This can be a computer with a USB port or
•
connected to a TCP/IP network that is equipped with 802.11 wireless. When planning, include any
additional support or devices required by the host and DynaPro Go, such as physical locations,
mounting, power connections, and charging cradles.
Determine what software will be installed on the host and how it will be configured. Software can
•
include operating system, transaction processing software, security software, and so on. Include any
additional support required by the software, such as network connections. Information about software
is provided in section 4.2 About Software.
Configure the host software to select which combinations of magnetic stripe swipe, EMV contact card
•
insertion, contactless payment tap, and/or manual entry the host will direct the device to accept (see
section 6.5 Card Reading). This decision may differ based on location, situation, and other factors,
or may be uniform across all transactions and devices and hosts you are deploying.
Determine how DynaPro Go will be physically presented to the cardholder.
•
Select which connection type the solution will use. Available connection types include USB and
•
TCP/IP over 802.11 wireless, and only one interface can be active at a time. The connection types
available in each model are listed in Table 2-1 - Available Models and Options on page 12.
Determine how DynaPro Go should be configured, and specify that configuration when ordering the
•
device. For example:
o Determine whether the device should be Always Listening for wireless messages from the
host, or creating Device-Initiated connections on demand.
o Determine whether the LCD display backlight should operate in Manual mode (constant
brightness) or Auto mode (adaptive to ambient light).
Select and configure a secure workstation advanced operators will use to configure and update the
•
device. The workstation must be configured as follows:
o Available USB port
o A secure means of obtaining files, either via the network (such as SFTP) or via removable
media, such as USB flash drives.
o 99510127 DYNAPRO/DYNAPRO GO/DYNAPRO MINI WINDOWS SDK INSTALL
(EXE) installed. This software includes the MagTek PCI PED Host App Simulator tool
advanced operators use to configure the device.
o It may also need a browser connection to a certificate authority (CA) for downloading
certificates.
Determine the charging schedule(s) and location(s). For example, high-traffic mission-critical
•
solutions may benefit from keeping multiple devices charging for fast swap-out. Charging cradles
and accessories are available directly from MagTek. Make sure there is an adequate number of USB
wall chargers and / or USB ports available for the number of devices you are charging together, and
make sure the electrical socket-outlet at a given charging location can support the total load.
Solutions using large numbers of devices may benefit from using a large-scale universal USB charger
/ hub. Details about charging are provided in section 6.3.1 How to Charge the Battery. Details
about maximum power consumption are provided in Appendix A Technical Specifications.
