1 - Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 About iDynamo iDynamo™ is a compact secure card reader authenticator (SCRA) that reads magnetic stripes and conforms to ISO standards. iDynamo is compatible with the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch products with either 30-pin or Lightning interface options. In addition to reading multiple tracks of data from a card, the reader incorporates MagnePrint® technology, so a card’s unique MagnePrint fingerprint is included with the track data in each transaction.
1 - Introduction Which iOS device will iDynamo be attached to? This informs which iDynamo model you need. What electromechanical interface will you use to attach and interface iDynamo with the iOS device? This informs which iDynamo model and which adapters you need. What application(s) will you use to test the device? What application(s) will you use to process transactions? This informs what additional software infrastructure you will need to put in place. 1.3.
2 - Installation 2 Installation 2.1 How to Install iDynamo and Software the First Time To connect iDynamo to your selected iOS device for the first time, follow these steps: 1) Power on the iOS device. 2) Select the appropriate iDynamo adapter sleeve as indicated in section 1.3.2 Choose Adapters / Accessories, optionally using the dimensions and shapes shown in Appendix B for reference.
2 - Installation 2.2 How to Re-Install Software If the iDynamo has been installed on the device previously, but you want to trigger the process of reinstalling software, follow these steps: 1) Follow the steps in section 3.1 How to Check Device Status. 2) On the “Settings > General > About > iDynamo” page, select Find App for Accessory. 3) Select and install QwickPAY as you would any iOS app. 4) Run QwickPAY and follow the instructions found in the QwickPAY documentation.
3 - Operation 3 Operation 3.1 How to Check Device Status To check the status of an iDynamo connected to an iOS device, follow these steps: 1) From the iOS device’s main screen, select Settings to open the “Settings” page. 2) In the left-side navigator (on iPad) or the main pane (on iPhone or iPod Touch), select General to open the “General” page. 3) Select About> to open the “About” page. 4) Make sure there is an iDynamo or iDynamo5 entry in the list on the “About” page.
3 - Operation 5) Select the device’s entry on the “About” page to show the device’s properties page. It should be similar to Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 - iDynamo Properties Page 3.2 How to Set Up Charging and Synchronization iDynamo is equipped with a pass-through Micro-USB port which allows the connected iOS device to continue charging and synchronizing* while iDynamo is connected. To set up pass-through charging and synchronization*, follow these steps: 1) Disconnect iDynamo from the iOS device.
3 - Operation 3.3 About Power Saving Mode When an app closes a session with a reader, the reader will go to low power mode until the app restarts or re-initiates a session.
4 - Developing Custom Apps 4 Developing Custom Apps iDynamo supports development of custom third-party apps. This section provides some information pertinent to developing apps that are compatible with iDynamo. For further information, see these reference documents, which are available from the MagTek documentation web site found at http://www.magtek.com/support/documentation/documentation.
4 - Developing Custom Apps 4.4.1 State Transitions Example: Power Up, Authentication, Good Swipe 1) Reader Powers Up (State = WaitActAuth:PU). App should send the Get Reader State command to discover the current state of the reader. 2) App sends valid Activate Authenticated Mode command (State→WaitActRply:PU). Reader returns response code 00 inferring the transition to the WaitActRply:PU state. 3) App sends valid Activation Challenge Reply command (State→WaitSwipe:PU).

Appendix C - Troubleshooting Appendix C Troubleshooting Ergonomics also play a critical role. If something is impeding the end of the swipe and causes you to stop short, or the reader is placed/held at an awkward angle, you will also generate a good deal of bad read events. There are videos available that demonstrate proper swiping technique.
Appendix C - Troubleshooting Check the connectors on iDynamo, the iOS device, and cable to make sure they are not dirty or damaged. C.4 iOS Device Not Synchronizing If the connected iOS device is not synchronizing through the pass-through Micro-USB port, check the following: Be aware that iOS devices cannot synchronize through iDynamo using the Apple Lightning connector. They can only charge. Follow the troubleshooting procedures in section C.3 iOS Device Not Charging.
