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 to build LAN or WAN | 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 network design specification from job briefs or appropriate personnel 1.4 Determine network addressing scheme for network connectivity and confirm using calculations 1.5 Select and obtain network hardware according to established procedures 1.6 Obtain operating instructions, manuals, hardware and software testing methodologies 1.7 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the task is coordinated effectively with others involved at the worksite |
2. Build and verify network | 2.1 Establish connections between network hardware according to manufacturer’s specifications and established procedures 2.2 Verify network routing and switching to conform to network design specification 2.3 Set up, configure and share network resources between network devices |
3. Monitor network performance and troubleshoot network | 3.1 Monitor network traffic and assess performance metrics against manufacturer’s specifications and established procedures 3.2 Identify security threats and initiate control measures according to enterprise procedures 3.3 Troubleshoot network and internet connectivity according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures |
4. Complete and document network build | 4.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures 4.2 Record and store network schematics and network addressing scheme 4.3 Notify appropriate personnel of completion of the task 4.4 Notify customer and obtain sign-off |
Evidence of ability to:
effectively implement work health and safety (WHS) workplace procedures and practices
develop a network addressing scheme
determine required network components to build the network
plan, build, configure, test and analyse performance of a network
troubleshoot network problems.
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 enterprise WHS procedures
explain internet and computer network communication
outline network addressing schemes including open systems interconnect (OSI) and transmission control protocol (TCP)/IP model
describe planning the cabling of ethernet networks
define the seven layer OSI model
identify correct tool and equipment usage
identify troubleshooting procedures.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications network engineering field of work and include access to:
a site where building and maintenance of secure network may be conducted
tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry
relevant workplace procedures
product and manufacturing specifications and reference material.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
