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. Install and configure network | 1.1 Prepare and confirm, with relevant personnel, the physical and logical structure of a LAN design to resolve hardware and software compatibility conflicts 1.2 Prepare file server and install network server software 1.3 Execute workstation boot procedures and verify network and work station functionality 1.4 Document network physical connections and workstation characteristics |
2. Set up network facilities | 2.1 Configure set-up procedures for a network print server, network printer and a shared file system 2.2 Connect a bridge or router between two networks 2.3 Set up a gateway for a network 2.4 Set up a logical disk or volume structure |
3. Administer user accounts | 3.1 Create a user account and a user log script 3.2 Produce a document of network users for notification of their access rights and privileges 3.3 Add and delete users to maintain an up-to-date user list 3.4 Establish disk quotas for users 3.5 Develop common user security procedures and set up user profiles |
4. Install common applications | 4.1 Install and configure an application in client-server mode 4.2 Establish security and multiple access to an application 4.3 Set up and configure an email client and browser for the client |
5. Install and configure systems applications | 5.1 Configure a backup system for redundancy, according to customer policy 5.2 Administer disk fault tolerance and redundancy techniques |
6. Maintain system integrity | 6.1 Implement system integrity and system monitoring techniques to provide a reliable customer data network 6.2 Use diagnostic software to detect and isolate system faults 6.3 Produce a report on network performance and fault occurrence for the customer, with recommendations for improving the integrity of the data communications network |
Evidence of ability to:
establish and configure a data communications network
set up and maintain systems, facilities, applications, and software
administer user accounts
diagnose and isolate system faults.
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:
determine features and operating requirements of data communications software and hardware for network systems
outline manufacturer’s requirements of testing software and equipment
summarise test methods and performance requirements
describe typical issues and challenges that occur when administering a data communications network.
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 communications network and systems user accounts can be administered
equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulations and company policies impacting communications network activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
