Abstract
This invention provides an enhanced bezel for use with a bill acceptor. The enhanced bezel includes a processor to monitor detailed information about the status of the bill acceptor, and other information related to its operation. The processor displays this information through multiple indicators on the enhanced bezel. The bezel is also configured to include an external communication portal/interface, such as an infrared data communications ('IrDA') interface, to output information to an external personal digital assistant ('PDA') or portable computer device. The external device may be capable of downloading data, and, if appropriate, it may reprogram the bill acceptor, calibrate sensors in the bill acceptor, and perform hardware tests, among other tasks. The bill validator's external communication portal/interface will communicate with the external device through a secure proprietary interface protocol.
