List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Operate an enterprise wide operating system | 1.1 Modify boot options by operating an enterprise wide operating system 1.2 Shutdown a networked operating system using system commands with qualifiers 1.3 Manage files using file management commands and wildcards and creating disk partitions and other media file systems 1.4 Mount and unmount file systems using system commands 1.5 Verify the integrity of file systems using system utilities 1.6 Configure telecommunication applications by using system commands with special permission modes 1.7 Critically analyse, evaluate and apply the enterprise wide operating system features to a given telecommunications multi-user application using distributed computing |
2. Apply system functions | 2.1 Use the command line interface to interact with shells and commands to the telecommunications application on distributed computing 2.2 Manage files by applying regular expressions with system functions 2.3 Send text files and output streams through text utilities using commands 2.4 Evaluate and apply enterprise wide operating system functions to a telecommunications application on distributed computing to create menu options |
3. Manage user login environment and customisation | 3.1 Manage user and group accounts to the telecommunications application on distributed computing 3.2 Change user and group profiles to allowed security access level using commands 3.3 Scan log files for activity using commands 3.4 Configure the user environment for setting user and global profiles 3.5 Record the configuration settings |
4. Manage system level functions | 4.1 Automate scheduling using the system ‘cron’ command 4.2 Critically analyse the need for backup strategy in a telecommunications network application 4.3 Plan a backup strategy to maintain redundancy of the system 4.4 Configure the system to perform scheduled backing up the file system to various media 4.5 Verify integrity of backup operations by restoring system using backup files 4.6 Configure system log files for administration and security needs 4.7 Manage a print server and print files to provide customer service 4.8 Document the configuration backup schedules and system logs |
5. Complete evaluation and configuration documentation | 5.1 Produce a project evaluation report on the application of Unix features to a given telecommunications multi-user application using distributed computing with recommendations on improvements to the system 5.2 Produce a report on the management and configuration of user applications and system level functions |
Evidence of the ability to:
manage ICT system functions using a enterprise wide operating system
analyse system functions based on data
produce a report on the evaluation of the system
document recommendations for improvement
Evidence of the ability to:
analyse an automated systems
critique communication and multi user telecommunications systems
appraise distributed computing
appraise encoding and programming techniques
analyse and report on network security

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications -Information Technology field of work and include access to:
a telecommunications operations site
unix based system to manage automated functions
special purpose tools, equipment, materials
industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
