Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish and support a small to medium business network capable of providing wide area network (WAN) connectivity and common web internet services.

It applies to individuals who may be working as a small to medium enterprise (SME) internet protocol (IP) network installer, network technician or SME network support person.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

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. Prepare for installation of small to medium enterprise network

1.1 Prepare for given work, confirming site-specific work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements with appropriate personnel

1.2 Identify safety hazards and implement risk control measures in consultation with appropriate personnel

1.3 Determine nature and scope of business network and network resources from job briefs or appropriate personnel

1.4 Select and obtain computer system and network device requirements according to enterprise procedures

1.5 Obtain operating instructions, manuals, hardware and software testing methodologies

1.6 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the task is coordinated effectively with others involved at worksite

2. Install and configure small to medium enterprise network

2.1 Set up wired infrastructure according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures

2.2 Set up and configure resource sharing on a network server

2.3 Install WAN connection and ISP services and configure according to enterprise procedures

2.4 Troubleshoot network and internet connectivity according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures

2.5 Implement data back-up and disaster recovery measures according to enterprise procedures

3. Complete and document network installation

3.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures

3.2 Record and store essential installation information according to enterprise procedures

3.3 Notify appropriate personnel of completion of the task according to enterprise procedures

3.4 Notify customer and obtain sign-off

Evidence of ability to:

implement work health and safety (WHS) workplace procedures and practices

plan installation of a network that uses subnet addressing and provides internet service provider (ISP) services

set up and configure wired infrastructure

troubleshoot local network and wide area network (WAN) connectivity and services

configure resource sharing on a network server

provide network data back-up and disaster recovery.

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:

identify correct usage of tools and equipment

outline data back-up services and procedures

describe enterprise WHS procedures

define ISP services

outline network device configuration

describe network models and topologies

define subnet addressing

outline troubleshooting procedures

describe WAN services and ISP responsibilities.

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 network engineering field of work and include access to:

a site where installation of a small to medium business network may be conducted

tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry

relevant workplace procedures

product and manufacturing specifications and reference materials.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
