PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan design concepts of a voice network for specified voice quality |
1.1 Determine the design requirements of an IP-based voice network, including the choice of network elements 1.2 Evaluate the various applications of real-time protocols and of signalling protocols for an appropriate gateway 1.3 Design a site numbering plan, including digit manipulation and path selection process 1.4 Plan and assign calling privileges as required 1.5 Predict VoIP call flow and potential impact on voice quality considerations and network performance |
2. Design, configure implement and test voice protocols and interoperation of VoIP communications network |
2.1 Produce the design layout of the voice network according to the design requirements 2.2 Design and configure a gateway and a gatekeeper to using H.323 protocol suite for dial plan resolution and call admission control for the network 2.3 Configure and test the use of real-time protocols, call management protocols and gateway signalling protocol in the network design 2.4 Analyse the function and interoperation of gatekeepers within an IP communications network |
3. Design, configure and test a VoIP IP-to-IP call system |
3.1 Analyse the IP-to-IP gateway features and functionality requirements for a given network design requirement 3.2 Configure the gatekeeper to support an IP-to-IP gateway 3.3 Configure and test the IP-to-IP gateway to provide address hiding, protocol and media interworking, and call admission control implementations 3.4 Produce test results and evaluate against design requirements |
