Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTTEN506 - Integrate new systems and equipment into the telecommunications network

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan integration strategy

  1. Determine nature and scope of the integration activity of systems from appropriate personnel
  2. Prepare an integration management plan in agreement with appropriate personnel
  3. Obtain outage management plan if available, otherwise prepare a contingency plan to ensure the system integration goes according to a plan
  4. Identify affected systems, traffic and customers
  5. Notify alarm management centre of action planned and obtain authority to proceed
  6. Notify customers affected by the outage of time and likely duration

Integrate and test new system in the network

  1. Plan and conduct activities over a set of integration phases safely and according to the integration management plan
  2. Load operational software according to specification to ensure interoperability of new and existing system
  3. Undertake tests by simulating network traffic and ensure test results are recorded and stored according to enterprise requirements
  4. Analyse test results and ensure established parameters have all been met
  5. Evaluate problems during the testing phase and rectify or escalate procedure
  6. Analyse alarms for fault conditions in conjunction with the network management centre
  7. Locate and detect faults within capability, or escalate according to enterprise policy
  8. Check operations administrative maintenance system and alarms are connected according to instruction manual
  9. Activate new alarms and deactivate old alarms
