  • Page 9: Introduction

    Simple Integration Using an updated bezel, mDynamo can be added to a new design or, if only magnetic stripe is being used, retrofitted to existing insertion style magnetic stripe readers. The chip card reader and optional NFC module are certified for EMV L1 and L2.

  • Page 10: About Mdynamo Components

    Figure 1-1 – mDynamo Major Components 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.

  • Page 11: 1.10 About Solution Planning

    Determine what documentation and training will be required from solution design to deployment.  Determine what type of host mDynamo will connect to. This can be a computer with a fully-powered USB port. When planning, include any additional support or devices required by the host, such as physical locations, mounting, and power connections.

     For stability, consider using locking connectors when using Auxiliary UART Port [J8], Auxiliary SPI Port [J7], and External LED Connector [J2]. mDynamo| EMV Contact Reader / Transaction Hub Module | Installation and Operation Manual Page 21 of 27 (D998200144-14)

  • Page 22: Operation

    4 - Operation Operation Before use, make sure mDynamo is connected to a USB host. Generally the host software will always keep a connection open to the device via the USB port, and the device indicates it is ready for a transaction or host command by keeping the General Status LED green.

  • Page 23: About The General Status Led

    4 - Operation About the General Status LED mDynamo’s on-board General Status LED and the External LED Connector [J2] can be used to provide feedback to operators and cardholders about the internal state of the device (see Figure 1-1). By default, the device drives to match the General Status LED.
