You cannot run two instances on the same machine, so either use a virtual machine or another physical machine for your secondary device. On the secondary machine, issue the command
signal-cli link -n "optional device name"
This will display the `tsdevice:/…` link. Then go back to the primary machine and issue the command
signal-cli -u USERNAME addDevice --uri "tsdevice:/…"
This links the two instances. Now, on your secondary machine, you can run
signal-cli -u USERNAME daemon
or any other valid signal-cli command except those which can only be used from the primary device.
