Parent / child relationship is probably the words your looking for.
so in our instance the router is the parent and the devices in the site are the children (cause the alerter is in the Data Centre on the other side of the WAN).
the router's parent is the router in the data centre.
there is some significant coding effort to put it together, including checking the parent devices before the children.
thanks
