TestCafe - How to run parallel tests with remote browser?

I have tests written with TestCafe Studio (.testcafe) format. I want to execute my tests concurrently for the pipelines, where I'm using ** -c 2 ** with the node.js

"test": "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 testcafe -c 2 chrome --skip-js-errors --assertion-timeout 20000 --selector-timeout 20000 Tests/**/*.testcafe",

This will open up 2 instances of chrome browser and execute my tests parallel. Which is what I want exactly.

But when I execute tests on remote browser, I'm not sure how I need to configure the concurrency so that it will run my tests parallel.

I tried below with node.js (-c 2 remote:2), where I expect that I can execute my tests parallel in a remote browser

"test-ie": "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 testcafe -c 2 remote:2 --skip-js-errors --assertion-timeout 60000 --selector-timeout 60000 Tests/**/*.testcafe",

But when I execute this I just got one single connection URL, and its not starting the tests. ( But the connection details includes Connecting 2 remote browser(s)... )

`> NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 testcafe -c 2 remote:2 --skip-js-errors --assertion-timeout 60000 --selector-timeout 60000 Tests/**/*.testcafe

Connecting 2 remote browser(s)...
Navigate to the following URL from each remote browser.
Connect URL: http://192.168.1.1:64828/browser/connect
CONNECTED Chrome 89.0.4389.90 / macOS 10.15.7`

How can I get this configured to run test parallel in a remote browser?

Thank you

Your command syntax is correct. TestCafe outputs a single URL to connect all remote instances. After you open this URL in the first browser window (and see the first CONNECTED message), open the second browser window and navigate to the same URL. The console will display the second CONNECTED message and tests will start.
