Performance Criteria 

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Scope the project

1.1 Prepare for work according to site specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures

1.2 Determine type of access network by accessing and using network information sources

1.3 Produce a brief on how access network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work

1.4 Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered, to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment

1.5 Obtain resources and equipment needed for the work according to enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety

1.6 Assess capacity limitations of various platforms in the context of the work to ensure maximum network performance

1.7 Determine product capability and calculate allowable capacity of the access network to allow for network growth

2. Produce deployment plan for an Access Network

2.1 Conduct planning work using current equipment components and complying with access network deployment rules and exemption process criteria

2.2 Produce a preliminary plan on deployment of the network that maintains integrity of the access network

2.3 Discuss unexpected situations with appropriate personnel, with consideration to job specifications, safety and enterprise procedures to establish a solution

2.4 Review plan to ensure it complies with all standards and codes required when working on network access, and where appropriate make adjustments

3. Complete work and report its impact on network access

3.1 Produce final deployment plan including recommendations agreed with customer

3.2 Provide a report on network monitoring techniques used to manage the network to ensure it is performing at optimum level
