Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up energy and cost efficient installations to meet sustainability targets by remotely feeding power over ethernet (PoE).
It applies to individuals with a range of telecommunication skills who install and configure thin client applications to enable PoE on a low powered workstation.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria

Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
determine and meet client requirements for thin client applications
install and configure components according to vendor and technical specifications.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline why businesses use thin technologies
explain client business domain, business function and organisation
summarise compatibility issues and resolution procedures
explain the configuration of internet protocol (IP) networks
discuss the importance of client and business liaison
explain how to document technical specifications
summarise linkage between processes
explain set up and configuration procedures
discuss systems diagnostic features
explain Web 2.0 including:
applications and functionality
areas of the Web 2.0 relevant to configuration and testing
current industry accepted Web 2.0 products
vendor specifications and requirements for Web 2.0 applications
Web 2.0 application procedures.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – sustainability field of work and include access to:
a site on which remote power feeding applications can be implemented
relevant documentation, feasibility studies and equipment manuals.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
Skill | Performance Criteria | Description |
Reading | 1.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.3, 4.1 | Identifies, analyses and evaluates technical installation manuals and other text to determine regulatory and technical requirements |
Writing | 1.3, 1.5, 2.1, 2.3, 3.2, 4.1-4.3 | Prepares reports and design solutions in required formats that convey an understanding of outcomes and alternatives and uses terminology appropriate to present to relevant personnel |
Oral Communication | 1.3-1.5, 2.3, 4.3 | Articulates clearly using specific language suitable for technical, operational and business audiences to convey requirements Uses listening and questioning techniques to confirm understanding |
Navigate the world of work | 1.1, 3.1, 3.3, 4.1 | Recognises and responds to both explicit and implicit organisational procedures and protocols, and legislative and regulatory requirements |
Interact with others | 2.3, 4.3 | Selects the appropriate form, channel and mode of communication for a specific purpose relevant to own role |
Get the work done | 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.3-3.5 | Develops plans to manage relatively complex, non-routine tasks with an awareness of how they may contribute to longer term operational and strategic goals Takes responsibility for own workload, negotiating some key aspects with others Systematically gathers and analyses all relevant information and evaluates options to make informed decisions Understands key principles and concepts underpinning the design and operation of digital systems and tools, and applies these when troubleshooting existing technology and when seeking to understand the potential of new technology Recognises and takes responsibility for addressing predictable and some less predictable problems in familiar work contexts |
