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 install IP network | 1.1 Prepare for given work according to relevant legislation, work health and safety (WHS) regulations, codes and standards 1.2 Arrange site access according to required procedure 1.3 Review existing network design documentation to ensure it is current and complete 1.4 Select components and network elements required to be installed to meet the technical requirements 1.5 Contact vendors and service suppliers to obtain specifications and availability of identified components 1.6 Develop plans, with prioritised tasks and contingency arrangements, for installation of components with minimum disruption to client 1.7 Liaise with appropriate person to obtain approval for the plans, including security clearance and timing |
2. Install and configure IP network | 2.1 Install and configure server hardware and software according to organisational and industry standards, following plans 2.2 Install and configure computer, other hardware and software, according to organisational and industry standards and plans 2.3 Install and configure other software required for the network to operate with security and integrity according to the plan |
3. Test and reconfigure IP network | 3.1 Test installed software and hardware, utilising available technical tools, to ensure all components are functioning as expected 3.2 Test the network to ensure it is functioning according to specifications 3.3 Resolve problems identified in the modified network |
4. Complete documentation and clean worksite | 4.1 Complete hardware and asset recording document in line with organisational requirements 4.2 Document installation, boot-up and configuration procedures according to organisational requirements 4.3 Tabulate test results and complete all user reports 4.4 Complete client report and notify of network status 4.5 Clean up and restore worksite to client’s satisfaction 4.6 Secure sign-off from appropriate person |
Evidence of ability to:
plan and prepare for the IP network installation task
select network elements to meet client’s business specifications
install, configure and test network elements to ensure interoperability within the network
apply network topologies, protocols and security issues
apply solutions to defined 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:
explain client’s business domain, business function and organisation
describe current industry-accepted hardware and software products
outline data and voice transmission technologies and protocols
summarise networking technologies, incorporating substantial depth in some areas
explain router-based network architectures.
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:
a site where network installation may be conducted
field measurement equipment currently used in industry
network design documentation
equipment specifications
network components
hardware and software
a live network
organisational guidelines
networked (LAN) computers
a wide area network (WAN) service point of presence.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
