Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to allocate channel capacity to a customer or customer group based on details provided in a service request.It applies to individuals working as technical officers or engineers for private and public organisations. They combine technical skills with organisational skills to assess customer requirements and allocate a transmission medium to provide access to the customer.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Collect data to evaluate capability of transmission path
  • Determine service details from service request
  • Use transmission medium plans to locate customer position relative to the access network provisioning
  • Evaluate existing transmission mediums in close proximity to assess their capability to deliver service to customer
  • Specify equipment to be used on the service from service request
  • Specify line interface type to be used, according to enterprise guidelines
       
Element: Allocate transmission medium for service
  • Select appropriate transmission medium to deliver service to customer’s premises
  • Record information about transmission medium between customer’s premises and exchange or network terminal point
  • Verify service delivery point interface at exchange or network terminal point is compatible with required system
  • Conduct appropriate allocation process to assign new services and send completed allocation information to appropriate field staff to verify physical allocation before providing service
       
Element: Maintain transmission medium records
  • Advise relevant personnel of impending bearer shortages to facilitate future planning allocation
  • Update plans and databases to record all details
