Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install core layer (backbone) connectivity in a local area network (LAN) for applications between floors in a multi-storey and separate buildings.
It applies to individuals who apply specialised technical knowledge and a systematic approach to installing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) technologies and backbone connectivity in a LAN.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Interprets numerical information to calculate and interpret network connectivity
|
|
Oral communication
|
- Uses active listening, observational and questioning techniques to confirm information and using technical language appropriate to audience and environment
|
|
Reading
|
- Gathers, interprets and analyses current network design specifications and identifies relevant and key information
|
|
Writing
|
- Prepares required documentation detailing network performance using cohesive and relevant language for intended audience
|
|
Planning and organising
|
- Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and an increasingly intuitive understanding of context to prioritise tasks and contingency arrangements
|
|
Problem solving
|
- Demonstrates an understanding of purposes, specific functions and key features of common digital systems and tools, and operates them effectively to complete routine tasks
|
|
Self-management
|
- Initiates standard procedures when responding to familiar problems within immediate context
|
|
Technology
|
- Uses mobile communication tools and specialised software to ensure that geographically distributed team members remain connected in virtual environments
|

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and to:
- install and configure backbone connectivity in a LAN on at least one occasion.
- build and test one asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) local area network (LAN) that provides the required services at the required communication standards
- document resource requirements and network performance.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- current and emerging industry standard practice associated with:
- bandwidth limitations, measuring and testing
- LAN and wide area network (WAN) network topologies (three-layer LAN hierarchy: core distribution and access)
- MAC addresses, network layer protocols
- open systems interconnect (OSI) layer modelling
- routers virtual LANs
- network interface cards (NICs) and switches, including:
- fast Ethernet
- gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet store-and-forward
- fast-forward
- fragment-free
- internetworking protocol suites, including:
- TCP/IP, IPX, DECnet, AppleTalk, IPv6.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
This includes access to:
- a site at which installation of backbone and ICT activities may be carried out
- required web and technical applications
- documented installation guidelines on vendor products
- local area network infrastructure
- switches with various interfaces
- network administration tools.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
