A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of KTI Networks DH-8T, 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 KTI Networks DH-8T 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 KTI Networks DH-8T. 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 KTI Networks DH-8T should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of KTI Networks DH-8T
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the KTI Networks DH-8T item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the KTI Networks DH-8T 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 KTI Networks DH-8T 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 KTI Networks DH-8T, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the KTI Networks 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 KTI Networks DH-8T.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the KTI Networks DH-8T 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.

    1. Introduction Introduction This hub is an Ethernet Hub designed for the 10Base-T environment. In terms of topology , twisted-pair Ethernet 10Base-T is defined as a star topology rather than a bus. Each port on the hub connects to only one 10Base-T device via unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The hub provides eight T wisted-Pair (TP) ports (RJ-[...]

    When connecting more than two hubs via TP ports and UTP cables, it is important to minimize the number of hubs in any path of the network. Y ou may select one hub to serve as a primary hub to which other hubs will be connected. This will minimize the number of hubs in any path (node to node) on the network. The following figure illustrates an examp[...]

    Collision LED This LED indicates the collision detected by the hub. The LED is normally off and it blinks when there are collisions. As the frequency of collisions on a network increases, the blink activities (on-time) of the LED also increase. Link/Rx LED Each TP port has one Link/Rx LED to indicate the link status and receiving activities of the [...]
