1. A method for configuring an automated teller machine (ATM), wherein the ATM comprises one or more hardware modules and one or more software modules, the method comprising:
- outputting one or more state messages, wherein the one or more state messages are indicative of a functional status of the ATM;
receiving one or more configuration messages, wherein;
the one or more configuration messages are based, at least in part, on the one or more state messages; and
the one or more configuration messages include instructions for performing one or more diagnostic routines;
interpreting the one or more configuration messages;
performing one or more of the one or more diagnostic routines; and
wherein the one or more configuration messages are in an XML-based format.
