Qualification -
Unit of Competency ICTSUS4186A - Install thin client applications for power over ethernet
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install and configure thin client applications to enable power over ethernet (PoE) on a low powered workstation.Thin client refers to a remote office with low band width.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Technical staff who specify, install or upgrade ICT networks apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. This unit applies to energy and cost efficient installations to meet sustainability targets by remotely feeding PoE.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

determine and meet client requirements for thin client applications

install and configure the components according to vendor and technical specifications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

site on which remote power feeding applications can be implemented

relevant documentation, feasibility studies and equipment manuals.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct observation of the candidate carrying out installation and configuring

review of plans completed by the candidate for different sites outlining resources required

oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge and methodologies used.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICTSUS5187A Implement server virtualisation for a sustainable ICT system

ICTSUS4183A Install and test renewable energy system for ICT networks

ICTSUS4184A Install and test power saving hardware

ICTSUS4185A Install and test power management software.

Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.

Submission Requirements
