Prepare to install IP network	1.1 Determine internet protocol performance requirements 1.2 Select components and network elements according to technical and organisational requirements 1.3 Obtain vendor specifications and availability of required components 1.4 Develop plans for installation of components according to organisational requirements 1.5 Obtain feedback and approval for plans from required personnel
2. Install and configure IP network	2.1 Install and configure server hardware and software according to organisational and industry standards 2.2 Install and configure computer, other hardware and software according to organisational and industry standards 2.3 Install and configure security and integrity software required for network
3. Test and reconfigure IP network	3.1 Test installed software and hardware, utilising available technical tools, to ensure all components are functioning as expected 3.2 Test the network to ensure it is functioning according to specifications 3.3 Resolve problems identified in the modified network
4. Finalise documentation and clean worksite	4.1 Complete hardware and asset recording document according to organisational requirements 4.2 Document installation, boot-configuration procedure according to organisational requirements 4.3 Tabulate test results and finalise user reports 4.4 Complete client report and notify of network status according to organisational policies and procedures 4.5 Lodge all documentation and seek finalised sign off from required personnel

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Learning	Recognises and anticipates an increasing range of familiar problems, their symptoms and causes, depending on differing operational contingencies, risk situations and environments
Numeracy	Makes calculations required to take test measurements, interpret results and evaluate performance and interoperability of network
Oral communication	Uses listening and questioning techniques to confirm requirements and articulate complex concepts and matters using relevant industry for intended audience
Reading	Recognises and interprets technical, legislative and operational documentation to determine job requirements
Writing	Prepares documentation detailing work performed according to organisational requirements
Teamwork	Cooperates with others as part of familiar routine activities and contributes to specific activities requiring joint responsibility and accountability
Planning and organising	Works logically and systematically to monitor, analyse and action job priorities Implements and adjusts actions according to a predetermined plan
Problem solving	Makes decisions quickly and intuitively in familiar situations requiring immediate attention, drawing on past experience to identify key variables and determine required course of action
Self-management	Takes personal responsibility for adherence to legal and regulatory responsibilities relevant to own work context Recognises and follows explicit and implicit protocols and meets expectations associated with own role
Technology	Demonstrates an understanding of key principles and concepts underpinning design and operation of digital systems and tools, and applies these as required
