About Solution Planning

A smooth deployment of a Dynamag Duo solution requires some up-front planning and decision-making:

Determine the overall functional requirements and desired user experience of the solution the
device will be integrated into.

Determine what documentation and training will be required from solution design to deployment.

Determine what type of host the device will connect to. This will generally be a computer with a
USB port. When planning, include any additional support or devices required by the host, such as
physical locations, mounting, and power connections.

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.

Select which connection type the solution will use. The device connects physically via USB and can
present itself as a vendor-defined HID device or an emulated keyboard.

Determine how the device should be configured, and specify that when you order devices. MagTek
or your reseller can advise. For deep detail about configuration options and how they affect device
behavior, see D998200176 DYNAMAG / MAGNESAFE V5 INTELLIHEAD USB /
MAGNESAFE V5 READERS USB PROGRAMMER'S MANUAL (COMMANDS).

Determine how the device will be physically presented to the cardholder (orientation, mounting
location, and so on). When planning placement, be sure to consider cable routes and distances. For
example, the mounting location should be within reasonable USB cabling distance from the host.

Determine how the device will be branded. For example, whether it will include additional trade
dress / user guidance decals.

Determine how the solution design will integrate the device electrically (see section 2 Electrical
Integration for details).

Determine how the solution design will integrate the device mechanically (see section 3 Mechanical
Integration for details).

Determine how the solution design will be tested and, if appropriate, how it will be certified.
