npn bipolar transistor

How do you make a transistor run in a Active-Normal Regime ?
It’s about a standard npn jonction, bipolar .
here is a good example of a transistor bias

It shows how to do it…
and calculations
the voltage between base and emitter is always 0.6V±0.1V (varies with temperature) when operating properly
if something else there is something wrong!
