Abstract
An apparatus for optically connecting at least two independent half-duplex networks. The apparatus receives electrical signals from a first network, converts these signals to optical signals, and then transmits the optical signals along optical fiber to another apparatus. This apparatus converts the optical signals it receives to electrical signals and transmits the signals to the second network. The apparatus controls the flow signals to and from the networks and optical fibers without any external control signals.
