1.3 About Terminology
In this document, eDynamo 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. Host types include PC 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 cashier
or bank teller, while the device interacts with the cardholder.
