EXFO Max Tester Max-635-V2XAA MaxTester
A NEXT-GENERATION TOOL FOR BROADBAND DEPLOYMENTS
EXFO’s MaxTester 635 is the perfect tool for any service provider deploying multiplay services over single-pair or bonded ADSL2+ and/or VDSL2. Its small form factor, rugged design and easy-to-use menus make it the ideal tool for installation and repair technicians. With the MaxTester 635, the testing process is highly automated and technicians close their jobs quickly and efficiently. The large display of the MaxTester 635 makes it even more user-friendly, and when it comes to saving results, it provides technicians with many connectivity options for uploading tests and compiling reports.
WORK SMARTER WITH THE MAXTESTER 635
Equipped with SmartR™, the MaxTester 635 allows technicians to work smarter, not harder. SmartR is a suite of intelligent and automated tests that allow any technician to quickly and easily get an understanding of the condition of the line under test, as well as to identify and locate a variety of common circuit faults. The Pair Detective feature automatically runs the most common line tests and provides graphical, color-coded results and pass/fail indications to detect conditions, including shorts, grounds, opens, battery, splits and imbalances. FaultMapper utilizes time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and resistive fault location (RFL) technology to provide the additional capability of locating service-affecting line faults including bridged taps, shorts, grounds and opens. EXFO’s unique SmartR presents results in an easy-to-understand, graphical format, with plain language feedback, making copper troubleshooting easier than ever before.
KEY DSL APPLICATIONS
Thanks to its DSL and dual Ethernet ports, the MaxTester 635 is a flexible tool for service providers qualifying services, from the central office or remote terminals to the customer’s equipment. The MaxTester 635 also provides powerful troubleshooting applications that can be used in different modes to quickly isolate faults no matter where they are located (network, outside plant, customer equipment or inside wiring). Even in hybrid networks where FTTH is also deployed, the Ethernet ports of the MaxTester 635 can be used inside the home to test at any point where a LAN connection is available.
COMPREHENSIVE METALLIC TESTING
Verification of copper quality is a snap with the copper measurement capabilities of the MaxTester 635. Thanks to its industry-standard AC and DC voltage, resistance (shorts), capacitance (opens), power influence, balance and impulse noise measurements, technicians obtain results that are graphically clear and concise with pass/fail indications.
The MaxTester 635 also features a POTS dialer, an optional TDR with dual-trace comparison capability and an optional 2/4 wire RFL and K-test for pinpointing loop faults. The optional wideband testing suite allows the qualification of circuits at VDSL2 frequencies of up to 30 MHz and includes PSD, near-end crosstalk (NEXT), impulse noise and attenuation analysis. Technicians have the option of running single-ended tests, or running tests against an optional FED.
IPTV TESTING
To boost their revenues, many service providers are using DSL to deliver new multiplay services on their existing networks. Among these services, video (IPTV) is one of the fastest growing and is getting a high level of focus and investment. Knowing that customers are very sensitive when it comes to IPTV QoS (i.e., picture quality due to packet loss, zap time, etc.), technicians must be equipped with the right test sets to quickly and efficiently turn up IPTV services and meet customers’ QoS expectations. With this in mind, the MaxTester 635 offers an optional IPTV test suite to provide both expert and entry-level technicians with a simple method to check the operation and quality of the offered video channels.
VoIP TESTING
The MaxTester provides SIP-based, voice-over-IP (VoIP) performance validation for service turn-up and troubleshooting. The VoIP function allows users to send or receive live VoIP calls to an FTB EXpert VoIP-enabled platform or IP phone. The MaxTester supports industry-recognized quality metrics (e.g., mean opinion score or MOS, R-factor) and performance metrics (e.g., latency, jitter).
WEB BROWSER
Many telcos require that technicians use a Web browser to confirm service operation or as visual proof to show the customer. Up to now, technicians required a PC in addition to the test set to do this. Thanks to the integrated browser of the MaxTester 635, carrying a laptop to the job location is no longer necessary. The MaxTester 635 is equipped with a browser that allows the user to access websites and load a Web page as part of any automated test, directly from the test set. Just as with any other browser, it can bookmark commonly used URLs and allows the user to save new ones in real time as needed.
ALL THE RIGHT FEATURES FOR INSTALLATION TECHNICIANS
With its small form factor, the MaxTester 635 can go anywhere the technician needs to go. It is rugged and light, and all connectors are protected from the rain—just what is needed for the demanding outside-plant environment.
Automated service testing
Thresholds can be set and saved for key copper and DSL parameters as well as for the data and IPTV service tests. When tests are run, users are given a clear graphical pass/fail result so they can quickly move on to the next job or investigate further. Test profiles can easily be transferred between units to ensure that all technicians from the same organization are testing to the same thresholds.
Easy-to-Use GUI
The next-generation user interface of the MaxTester 635 was designed with first-level technicians in mind. The large touchscreen display features colored icons and graphics for easy configuration and operation, and is simple to use for both experienced and novice users.
Asset and Results Management
In today’s highly competitive environment, quality of service delivered to subscribers is paramount for service providers. With solutions such as EXFO Connect and EXFO Sync coupled with the MaxTester 635, service providers can manage their fleet of MaxTester units and ensure that they have the most up-to-date software installed and properly configured. These solutions on the MaxTester 635 also make it possible for service providers to have test results in hand for data mining and post-analytics, thereby enabling them to proactively manage loop plants and ensure that they are of the highest quality.
Battery-Powered
The MaxTester 635 is equipped with a battery using the latest technology in rechargeable cells. It provides the maximum testing time between charges, even when meeting the high-power demands of VDSL2. When charging is required, technicians can either use the optional 12 VDC vehicle charger or the supplied AC adapter.

KEY DSL APPLICATIONS
- Ensures that the customer has the required bandwidth (downstream and upstream rates) for delivering triple-play services over single-pair or bonded ADSL2+ and VDSL2
- Validates that the IPTV and data services can operate on the circuit with the required QoS
- Verifi es that the customer’s modem/router, equipment and inside wiring are operating correctly
- Proves IPv4 and IPv6 data fl ow between the network and end equipment
- Detection of potential bottlenecks on subscriber loops to ensure high-quality, consistent and error-free multiplay services
