Patching and Updating

DynaFlex II PED supports file-based updates of the device's core firmware (main firmware) and
authorized commands for updating sensitive configuration. For optimal device security, MagTek
recommends the latest versions of firmware should always be installed.
Firmware updates are provided as files that have been signed by MagTek. The firmware files can be
loaded locally through the USB connection by using update tools available from the MagTek web site.
The device verifies each update is newer than the installed version, and cryptographically authenticates
the file. If version checking or authentication fails, the device erases the update file and reports an error
to the host.
For help with updates to EMV configuration, contact Magensa Remote Services.

Decommissioning

Before DynaFlex II PED is permanently removed from service, all the keys and sensitive data must be
erased. One way to accomplish this is by temporarily removing the bottom cover, which forces a tamper
response.
If removal from service is only temporary, no action is required. All sensitive data will continue to be
protected by the device's physical and logical protection mechanisms.
