Unit of Competency | ICTTEN6047A - Manage a common channel signalling network |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage common channel signalling (CCS) network to control multiple data channels.The most common CCS signalling methods in use are integrated services digital network (ISDN) and signalling system No.7 (SS7). ISDN signalling is used primarily on trunks connecting end-user private branch exchange (PBX) systems to a central office. SS7 is primarily used within the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The two signalling methods are very similar since they share a common background and in some cases, the same signalling messages are transmitted in both ISDN and SS7.Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communications use configurations with multiple routers to communicate via VoIP and CCS over a digital primary rate interface (PRI).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 officers or engineers from private and public organisations apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They combine technical skills with organisational skills to provide signalling facilities to interconnect telecommunications over trunked networks.They may be responsible for small projects or parts of larger projects and their primarily roles are to provide trunked transmission paths for a reliable service to customers. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
