 This section allows for configuring the main packet processing mode:
-* Bridge mode: In Bridge mode, all received packets will be retransmitted on the corresponding mutual port so that the device can be placed inline between any network component. The device will be transparent and will not modify the traffic in any way. The additional latency will be typically around or less than 1 millisecond.
-* Sink mode: In Sink mode, packets are only received and not forwarded. This operation mode allows for installation at a Mirror port of a Switch or when using a network Tap to access the network traffic.
+* '''Bridge mode''': In Bridge mode A.K.A. In-Line mode, all received packets will be transmitted between corresponding port pairs (e.g. 1+2, 3+4 on Allegro 500) so that the Allegro can be placed inline between any network component.
+The device will be transparent and will not modify the traffic in any way. The additional latency will be typically around or less than 1 millisecond.
-The packet processing mode can be changed during runtime.

+* '''Sink mode''': In Sink mode, the Allegro will operate as "receive only" and packets are not forwarded. This operation mode allows for installation at a Mirror port of a Switch or when using a network Tap to access the network traffic.

+The packet processing mode can be changed during runtime.
+!Attention: Please always keep in mind, that while in bridge mode (Allegro = in-line), a Link will be (shortly) interrupted when switching processing mode or/and rebooting the Allegro Network Multimeter.
