Connecting the SFP Ports
S2518PB provides 2 gigabit SFP optical ports. Each port corresponds to one indicator
respectively, which is used for indicating the port Link/ACT state. When the indicator is always
on, the link is normal; when it flickers, the data receives and forwards. To use the optical port,
you need connect it to the SFP optical module, and then to other Ethernet terminal devices
through an optical fiber.

Connecting Gigabit Ethernet Base-T ports
The S2518PB switch has 16 10/100/1000 Base-T ports. Each port has one indicator,
which indicates the state of Link/ACT. If the indicator is always on, the port is linked up; if the
indicator flickers, the data is transmitted on the port. The numbering order of the pins in the
UTP port is the same as the console port.
