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. Collect data to evaluate capability of transmission path | 1.1 Determine service details from service request 1.2 Use transmission medium plans to locate customer position relative to the access network provisioning 1.3 Evaluate existing transmission mediums in close proximity to assess their capability to deliver service to customer 1.4 Specify equipment to be used on the service from service request 1.5 Specify line interface type to be used, according to enterprise guidelines |
2. Allocate transmission medium for service | 2.1 Select appropriate transmission medium to deliver service to customer’s premises 2.2 Record information about transmission medium between customer’s premises and exchange or network terminal point 2.3 Verify service delivery point interface at exchange or network terminal point is compatible with required system 2.4 Conduct appropriate allocation process to assign new services and send completed allocation information to appropriate field staff to verify physical allocation before providing service |
3. Maintain transmission medium records | 3.1 Advise relevant personnel of impending bearer shortages to facilitate future planning allocation 3.2 Update plans and databases to record all details |
Evidence of ability to:
assess transmission needs for a transmission path according to service request
select suitable equipment to provide new services
communicate effectively with stakeholders to meet customer needs
assess future needs.
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:
review common customer telecommunications applications and related equipment
investigate core networks using emerging and converging technologies
explain current legislation relating to installation of telecommunications equipment and connection to carrier services
evaluate customer access options and their technical support systems
describe multiplexing principles and transmission hierarchies
summarise network and transmission equipment
outline network topologies, interfaces and interconnect solutions.
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 networks engineering field of work and include access to:
sites where transmission paths can be allocated
a computer networking facility
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation
equipment currently used in industry.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
