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.
Element | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan to test optical ethernet link | 1.1 Make worksite safe by identifying existing and potential site hazards 1.2 Determine the technical environment and network components 1.3 Report on infrastructure to ensure link is designed to meet performance requirements |
2. Specify architecture requirements | 2.1 Follow site specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) procedures 2.2 Determine architecture components 2.3 Determine functions and framework for the system to operate across network boundaries, taking into account performance criteria |
3. Manage optical ethernet link | 3.1 Conduct work in context of appropriate tests 3.2 Analyse test results 3.3 Provide a report on test results and compare with expected outcomes 3.4 Document test results and refer to appropriate person |
Evidence of ability to:
identify test performance parameters
plan the test from performance requirements
select and perform a testing regime on ethernet optical transmissions
analyse and document test results
comply with all work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe intricacies of optical ethernet systems including:
application in optical systems
system architecture
function and framework within a telecommunications environment
organisational policies and procedures
appropriate testing techniques and analysis
explain specific work health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to:
handling of optical fibre
personal safety issues
use of laser light sources.
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 – Optical Networks field of work and include access to:
test equipment currently used in industry
manufacturer’s technical documentation, legislation, codes and standards.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
