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. Gather information to prepare for installation of IP device | 1.1 Obtain work health and safety (WHS) requirements and environmental requirements for a given work area, and clarify with appropriate personnel 1.2 Identify safety hazards and notify appropriate personnel 1.3 Obtain identified operating instructions, manuals, and hardware and software testing methodologies 1.4 Obtain documentation on a range of IP devices that can be networked according to the open system interconnection (OSI) reference model in networking 1.5 Obtain the range of required IP devices to be connected to the network and identify the IP-based telecommunications application that will be provided |
2. Prepare for installation of IP device | 2.1 Select IP device for installation that can be integrated into existing network 2.2 Obtain appropriate hardware, software, network protocols, peripheral devices and media types and connectors for configuration process 2.3 Draw physical topology of the device connection to network and seek approval from appropriate personnel 2.4 Obtain configuration details to start setting up device |
3. Configure and test IP device | 3.1 Determine network addressing scheme for mapping network connectivity and verify by calculations 3.2 Assign a valid static IP address to device 3.3 Use network commands to determine and verify the media access control (MAC) address, the IP address and network performance of the device 3.4 Determine security threats and initiate security solutions to prevent security breaches according to enterprise procedures |
4. Complete and document network installation | 4.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures 4.2 Record and store essential installation information according to enterprise procedures 4.3 Notify appropriate person of task completion according to enterprise procedures |
5. Test wireless link | 5.1 Select types of wireless connections used in telecommunications 5.2 Set up a wireless link to connect two wireless devices, following safe work practices 5.3 Transmit data over the link and verify accuracy of received data |
Evidence of ability to:
prepare for installation of internet protocol (IP) device connected to a network
set up and configure IP device with simple addressing schemes
test and secure device against security threats
produce essential installation information
follow work health and safety (WHS) workplace procedures and practices
test wireless link.
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:
