How is the interface? Web based or CLI?

It is web based, I had zero issues getting it setup and using the VLAN functions.

Yes. The widget is pretty decent and offers integration with their website. It is also possible to download the SDK and develop your own software (if you are a c/c++ developer or can afford paying a software developer ;))

Yes, all configuration is done through a web interface and does not require any software to be installed on the computers in the network.

It depends on the user. Menus are split and there is no logic to what is where. I still forget where stuff is if I haven't used it recently. I'd say it's worth the trouble because the extra features are not included in simpler machines. I can only guess that some features are an afterthought, but I'm glad they are there.

Yes I have found it user friendly and easy to use once running through the user manual. If you spend the time required to study the user manual and practice with the unit, you will be up and running without much further need to refer to the manual. All functions and features can be accessed quickly and easily once you are familiar with the unit. It isnt something you can just pick up out of the box and totally proficient with all functions intuitively though, it it quite advanced with some great features.

It comes with an on board browser interface. It does have a power pack It's pretty easy to setup as long as you plug it into you LAN first before installing it then follow the instructions

I used it under Linux. It did what I wanted. Looks cool on my desk. People often say, "Her what kind of trouble can you get into with that?" You might have to load the Linux module from the command line

iWork is great with ppt, vivalarevolution. Only thing is that Keynote is so far advanced beyond PowerPoint so some of the amazing transitions won't carry over. To be perfectly frank, OpenOffice.org sucks compared to MS Office and iWork.

Here's a link to the manual - ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/Download/Hardware/UR824/UR824_OperationManual_en.pdfI've been really happy with this audio interface. It almost doesn't need a manual. I was attracted to this product because it is higher quality than others on the market, but is still easy to use.The only hurdle I had with the setup was the setting up the virtual software mixer that controls the inputs on the interface. Mainly used for setting up elaborate headphone mixes for multiple users. I just had never used one before and got the hang of it pretty quickly. I found that I could more or less use it or not.

Sorry, my android decided I was done. It works fine for manually controlling the unit and is an easy way to make sure the unit is working. I didn't use the scripting interface though. Once I got it working with the demo, I wrote my own software to control it. It's an easy interface to program for if you're familiar with using serial ports from software.

Yes it is a little clunky. I've only used it a few times so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to set it up quickly. The build is nice.

If you want the start menu like Win7... dont pay $5 for it like Thomas suggests! Simply google classicshell its great and its free!

Yes , this is a USB interface to the computer. Usually there is a CD for installation... but not necessary

I installed pokki a while ago. But it started behaving like a malware slowing down my computer. A nice UI doesn't necessarily translate to a light efficient product. I could have installed others such as start8, but I lost trust in these free apps and got used to what Windows provide. Now I like it. It is far more intuitive.

I'm using it as a server running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, text mode. Works excellent. Apache, PHP 5 and MySQL.

Mine is still working great. Kinda clunky feeling for an interface, but works fine.

Easy with cable + CHIRP opensource software. More difficult if you use keypad plus cant set alphanumeric labels w/o software. Ive heard people bitch and moan about programming the uv-5r but i found it incredibly easy, just like the Technical ham radio test.
