A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Intel 10/100, 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 Intel 10/100 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 Intel 10/100. 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 Intel 10/100 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Intel 10/100
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Intel 10/100 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Intel 10/100 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 Intel 10/100 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 Intel 10/100, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Intel 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 Intel 10/100.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Intel 10/100 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.

    5 Hardware Installation and Network Topology CHAPTER 1 Using the Switch The switch requires minimal user intervention. It automatically learns the addresses of new devices as you connect them, and will relearn addresses dynamically if you reconfigure the network. It also automatically detects the speed of connected devices. You don’t need to manu[...]

    6 CHAPTER 1 Intel Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch Flow Flow control. Lights whenever too much traffic is entering on a port. When this happens, the switch’s buffers fill and it’s forced to back pressure the traffic out to the segment for retransmission. This allows the switch’s buffers to clear before the segment retransmits the traffic. [...]

    73 Troubleshooting CHAPTER 4 1 Incoming packets on Port 1 are destined for Port 2. However, Port 2’s buffer is filled. 2 Port 1 sends a collision signal to the sending device, telling it to retransmit the packets. This allows Port 2 to clear its buffers. 3 When Port 2’s buffer are cleared, retransmitted packets are forwarded to Port 2. Port 1 b[...]

    74 CHAPTER 4 Intel Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch A port’s Flow LED flashes whenever a received packet needs to be forwarded to a port that already has too many packets queued. This indicates a temporary overload situation on one port; the total traffic to the port exceeds the amount its buffer can hold. This usually occurs when there are se[...]
