(a)Access the web page of the Multimeter and go to "Generic -> Path measurement".

(b) Switch to the configuration tab.

(c)Click on the toggle button to enable the feature.

(d)You can enter an descriptive name for the master device which makes it easier to read the statistics.

(e)For the remote device, enter the information described above. You can select a descriptive name for this device, too.

(f)Enter a maximum packet delay. This parameter defines how long the master device waits for data from the remote device until it decides whether or not a packet as been lost. Larger values requires more memory. Typical values are between 2 and 5 seconds.

(g)Finally save the configuration settings.

(h)At the bottom of page a note will appear in most cases that arestart of the packet processing is necessary. Follow the link to the administration page and click on "Restart processing". Be aware that this will interrupt the network connection for a few seconds (if in bridge mode) and you will lose all previously measured data.

(i)Return to the "Generic -> Path measurement" page.

(j)The "Measurement" tab should say that the measurement status is either warming up or running.

(k)The "Remote client status" should say "connected". If not, a button appears which can be clicked to reconnect to the remote device. Any error will be printed in a info box.
