# You need two Allegro Network Multimeters (any model).
# One Multimeter (the master device) will receive traffic information from the remote Multimeter via a standard SSL connection; the master device must be able to connect to the remote device. If a firewall is in place between both devices, an additional rule might be necessary to connect the remote device on port 443.

# Install the master device in your network where it can see the traffic sent and received to the remote site. The Multimeter can be installed on a Mirror Port of a Switch which sees all the traffic, or inline between the local network and uplink to the remote site.
# Install the main device in your network where it can see the traffic sent and received to the remote site. The Multimeter can be installed on a Mirror Port of a Switch which sees all the traffic, or inline between the local network and uplink to the remote site.
# Install the device on the remote site at a network position where it sees all traffic from and to the local network. Again, this can be a Mirror Port of a Switch on the remote site, or inline between the remote network and the link to the local network.

## 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 has been lost. Larger values requires more memory. Typical values are between 2 and 5 seconds.

## At the bottom of the page a note will appear in most cases that a restart 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); you will lose all previously measured data.
