Hi, thanks for the reply.
The device is the oldest optical transmitter which was supposed to
replace the network cable. It has a build in network card. The reason I
was confused is because there are no user manuals for this hardware!
I've searched the internet already. It's just too old. However, I've
made them working between my linux machines at 10Mbps (3com NICs). For
some reason, on combination of XP and Intel *1000 card it worked only
for a short period of time and then stopped.
I was thinking there's a standard set of LED's and blinking
combinations.
Thanks again
