Quite frankly, I can't really understand what kind of documentation would
be required.
You plug in the cable at both sides, and away you go.
There is no software for the transciever, there are no settable options,
unless you have one of those transcievers where you can select wether your
want SQE[*] or not, and that is just a switch. One, or a few LEDs might be
located on the transciever, but what they show should even be labelled on
the transciever, and pretty obvious anyway.

There is basically not that much to write any documentation about. :-)
(Yes, I know that you know this, Antonio, but your mail was at the right
time when I thought I had to write my message.)

* As for the SQE, most people just leave it off, and be happy. DEC
  software occasionally complains that it's missing the heart beat, which
  means if you turn on SQE, that software will be happy too.
