About Terminology

In this document, DynaProx products are referred to as the device. They are 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 and Mac computers/laptops, tablets, and
smartphones. Generally, the host must have software installed that communicates with the device and is
capable of processing transactions. During a transaction, the host and its software interact with the
operator, such as a customer service representative, while the device interacts with the cardholder (even
if the cardholder is using a virtual representation of the card account, such as a smartphone).
