What an assessment for ICTTEN404 must cover

36 assessable components: 5 elements (16 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Configure wireless mesh nodes and wireless access points

  • 1.1Determine internet protocol (IP) addressing schemes from design plan, obtained from appropriate personnel
  • 1.2Confirm compatibility of factory installed firmware in wireless routers with mesh routing requirements – otherwise install upgrade firmware
  • 1.3Configure wireless router settings and wireless fidelity (WiFi) for wireless access point settings for inclusion in mesh network
  • 1.4Connect mesh node and access node back-to-back via a straight LAN cable according to design plan

2 Connect separate mesh networks via backbone

  • 2.1Configure routing software on mesh and backbone nodes to enable mesh traffic to reach backbone
  • 2.2Connect mesh node and backbone node back-to-back via a straight LAN cable
  • 2.3Configure gateway server and gateway node and add required services to network

3 Test connectivity within mesh network

  • 3.1Assemble all wireless mesh routers with configuration sheets attached, and power up routers
  • 3.2Connect PC to a wireless mesh router and confirm an IP address is provided automatically by dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
  • 3.3Confirm connectivity to mesh nodes and the gateway by pinging individual IP addresses, and rectify faulty nodes if required

4 Test network connectivity via wireless backbone

  • 4.1Install mesh nodes according to design plan
  • 4.2Install and align directional antennas on wireless backbone path according to installation instructions and work health and safety (WHS) procedures
  • 4.3Confirm connectivity between mesh clusters at either end of wireless backbone

5 Clean up worksite and complete administrative work

  • 5.1Remove waste from worksite, dispose of according to environmental requirements and restore work area to customer’s satisfaction
  • 5.2Update documentation records and make recommendations according to enterprise policy
  • 5.3Notify customer of job completion and obtain sign-off

Performance evidence

  • configure wireless mesh nodes
  • install wireless mesh nodes, access point nodes and gateway
  • test nodes for connectivity

Knowledge evidence

  • explain requirements for 802.11 wireless protocols
  • describe allocation of internet protocol (IP) addresses and subnet masks
  • summarise antenna gain and polarisation
  • outline cable loss
  • explain calculation of effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP)
  • explain calculation of line of site radio range
  • explain decibels and related units
  • outline network topologies
  • describe radio frequency (RF) bands
  • summarise routing protocols
  • outline transmission control protocols(TCP)-IP describe wireless networking hardware, access points, wireless routers and gateway

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Recognises and interprets technical documentation to determine job requirements
  • Writing: Uses clear, specific and industry-related terminology to produce and update workplace documentation in predetermined formats
  • Numeracy: Performs calculations to interpret results and evaluate different types of technical data and configure system performance
  • Navigate the world of work: Takes personal responsibility for following explicit and implicit policies, procedures and legislative requirements relevant to own work context
  • Interact with others: Selects appropriate form, channel and mode of communication when liaising with customers, vendors and installation personnel on technical and operational matters
  • Get the work done: Understands key principles and concepts underpinning design and operation of digital systems and tools and applies these when troubleshooting existing technology and when seeking to understand the potential of new technology Determines job priorities, resources and equipment, and works logically and systematically to undertake clearly defined and familiar tasks Implements actions according to a predetermined plan, making adjustments if necessary Takes responsibility for routine decision-making by selecting from a range of predetermined options in routine situations, identifying and taking situational factors into account When dealing with complex issues, may use intuition to identify problems, switching to analytical processes to modify activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments to generate possible solutions

Questions about assessing ICTTEN404

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN404 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN404 needs to address all 36 unit components: 5 elements with 16 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 11 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTTEN404?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN404 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTTEN404 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN404 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTTEN404, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
