1 Purpose
Packet Network Tester and Analyzer MAKS-EMK is destined for use while
servicing, commissioning and certifying Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
networks.
MAKS-EMK performs accurate measurements of copper Ethernet
(10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T) and optical Ethernet (1000BASE-Х).
MAKS-EMK functional capabilities include:
−Traffic generation and testing at data link, networking and transport
Layers at two interfaces simultaneously
−RFC 2544-recommended test procedure
−Y.1564-recommended test procedure
−Packet jitter measurement
−Loopback testing at physical, data link and networking Layers
−Testing of channel integrity and IP routes
−Received and transmitted traffic statistics collection and display
−Connection between measuring ports (Through mode)
−Copper cable diagnostics
−Remote control via USB port and Ethernet
1.1. Utmost Permissible Operation Conditions
MAKS-EMK is a portable Tester designed for operation within the following
conditions:
−environment temperature + 5 °С… + 40 °С
−relative air humidity up to 90% at the temperature of + 25 °С
−atmospheric pressure 450 Mmhg (60 kPa) min. and 795 Mmhg
( 106 kPa) max.
The Tester is powered from a built-in battery (1 ea, LiIon type) or AC mains
220-230 V 50-60 Hz (if a power unit is used). MAKS-EMK is meant for
continuous 24 hours operation.

−current test results generation and on-screen display
−RFC 2544-recommended measurements of throughput, latency,
frame loss and back-to-back
−Y.1564-recommended measurements of configuration and
performance
−channel integrity and IP routes testing: ping, traceroute, DNS support,
IP scanner
