Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing interaction with a terminal. In overview, a validator for a terminal (such as a gaming machine or the like) includes a central processing unit, and a memory module coupled to the central processing unit, the memory module configured for maintaining software instructions that are executable via the central processing unit, and for maintaining diagnostic information concerning the validator. A primary communications port coupled to the central processing unit allows interaction between the validator and the terminal. A secondary communications port for allows communications between the validator and a handheld remote device, such that diagnostic information regarding the validator is able to be displayed via the handheld remote device. The handheld device executes corresponding software instructions to facilitate interaction with the validator.
