Assessment 1 Must also be undertaken in a real or simulated networked environment. Assessment Methods Observation Assessment 1 Develop a detailed ICT network architecture plan and associated reports Written Assessment / Project Assessment 2 (Written Assessment / Project) Last Modification Date July 2017 Proposed Review Date June 2018 Unit Summary This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compile and evaluate business specifications from a client, and produce a set of architecture design solutions to cater for present and future forecast demands. It applies to individuals working in the field who carry out design and implementation of technical solutions of information communications technology (ICT) networks, employed by telecommunications and information technology networking provisioning companies specialising in integrating converging and emerging technologies of ICT networks. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Prerequisite Units Nil Possible Co-requisite Units Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: • ICTOPN603 Design a dense wavelength division multiplexing systems • ICTRFN602 Produce and evaluate architecture designs for WiMAX networks • ICTTEN609 Produce and evaluate architecture designs for convergent cellular mobile networks ICTTEN611 Produce an ICT Network Architecture Design | Page 3 of 24 Version 3: July 2017 CRICOS Name: Pass Global Pty Ltd Trading as Australian Learning, Training & Education Centre Provider Code: 22034 CRICOS Code: 02926D ASSESSMENT 1 – STUDENT INFORMATION This information is to be handed to each student to outline the assessment requirements. This assessment will be undertaken in a role-play environment. You have been contacted by a client (your assessor), who is a start-up business looking to set up a network in multiple locations. You are to arrange an appointment with your client and identify their requirements. Students are to ask appropriate questions and utilise open-ended questioning techniques to identify the business requirements relating to the network setup and administrative requirements. You must lead the conversation, as your client may only answer the questions you ask. Remember, you are the networking professional, not the client Once you know what your client wants to achieve, you are to research ICT Networking options for them, and develop: o A robust ICT Networking Architecture report o A detailed logical network diagram o A proposal that ▪ details the networks impact on the business performance ▪ evaluates and comments on predicted performance ▪ considers growth capacities ▪ outlines costs (including supplier products) ▪ outlines support and training requirements ▪ relates to current technical specifications and prices You are to present your proposal to your client, explain how it will work, and gain sign-off. Your client will ask you questions, so you need to understand your proposal. Their questions may be technical, and you need to be able to answer them. Assessment Summary You are to submit your written proposal as outlined above This Observation will occur on: _____________________________________________ ICTTEN611 Produce an ICT Network Architecture Design | Page 4 of 24 Version 3: July 2017 CRICOS Name: Pass Global Pty Ltd Trading as Australian Learning, Training & Education Centre Provider Code: 22034 CRICOS Code: 02926D ASSESSMENT 1 – STUDENT SELF ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST This information is to be handed to each student to outline the assessment criteria This checklist is similar to the one being used by your assessor during this assessment.
