A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of D-Link DE-824TP, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of D-Link DE-824TP one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of D-Link DE-824TP. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of D-Link DE-824TP should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of D-Link DE-824TP
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the D-Link DE-824TP item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the D-Link DE-824TP item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of D-Link DE-824TP alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of D-Link DE-824TP, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the D-Link service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of D-Link DE-824TP.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the D-Link DE-824TP item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    Rack Mounting The Ethernet Hub may stand alone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equip-ment rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. Use the six supplied screws to fasten the supplied mounting brackets to either end of the hub, then fasten the hub into the rack. 2[...]

    Installing Network Cables Your Ethernet Hub is denominated as an 12-port, or 16-port, or 24-port Ethernet Hub according to the number of its front-panel 1OBaseT ports. Additionally it has two ports whose connectors are on the rear panel: one lOBase2 port (BNC connector), and one lOBase5 port (AUI connector). These two un-numbered rear-panel ports a[...]

Thus the rule for making a hub-to-hub connection with twisted-pair cable is as follows: To make a hub-to-hub connection with a straight cable, Uplink must be selected at one end of the cable, and Uplink must not be selected at the other end of the cable. To make a h[...]

    Thin coax Segment v Sometimes several Ethernet Hubs must be co- located to support a larger array of stations than can be handled by a single Ethernet Hub. Then it is useful to stack the Ethernet Hubs by joining their BNC connectors with 0.5 meter patches of thin coaxial cable. Such stacking is just a special case of thin coaxial cable connection a[...]

    To connect the Ethernet Hub to a thick coaxial cable (lOBase cable), it is necessary to have a lOBase Ethernet transceiver (tap) on the cable at the Ethernet Hub’s position. Then run an AUI cable between the transceiver’s AUI connector and the AUI connector on the rear panel of the Ethernet Hub. AUI port -AU1 cable x Transceiver Connecting Powe[...]
