Plan to test optical ethernet link	1.1 Obtain and review required legislation, codes, company work practices, regulations and standards, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, personal protective equipment, and hazard identification tools for scoped work 1.2 Confirm that worksite adheres to safety requirements and organisational guidelines 1.3 Determine the technical environment and required network components 1.4 Report on infrastructure and confirm that ethernet link meets performance requirements
2. Specify architecture requirements for managing optical ethernet transmission	2.1 Discuss architecture requirements for managing optical ethernet transmission with relevant personnel 2.2 Verify and list required architecture components 2.3 Determine functions and frameworks for the system to operate across network boundaries in consideration of performance criteria
3. Manage optical ethernet link	3.1 Conduct work in compliance with testing requirements and agreed upon procedures 3.2 Document and analyse test results in comparison with industry benchmarks 3.3 Report test results to relevant personnel according to organisational procedures and guidelines

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Numeracy	Uses mathematical formulae to evaluate technical data and interpret results
Oral communication	Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm technical and operational requirements Participates in verbal exchanges of ideas and solutions and uses required, detailed and clear language to address internal and external personnel and clients
Reading	Interprets textual information from required sources to identify and plan for all job requirements and adhere to procedures and standards
Writing	Completes standard reports and documentation using clear and technically specific language and numerical data
Teamwork	Identifies requirements of important communication exchanges, selecting required channels, format, tone and content to suit purpose and audience and monitoring impact
Planning and organising	Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation and manages required communication Takes responsibility for high-impact decisions in complex situations involving many variables and constraints
Problem solving	Works independently within parameters with a strong sense of responsibility and ownership of goals, plans, decisions and outcomes Monitors adherence to legal and regulatory rights and responsibilities with specific reference to safe industry practices
Technology	Identifies systems, devices and applications with potential to meet current and/or future needs
