What an assessment for ICTTEN527 must cover
54 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 27 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 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 Research requirements of wireless mesh network (WMN)
- 1.1Obtain WMN design specifications and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
- 1.2Evaluate the use of frequency bands when operating the WMN
- 1.3Evaluate and select wireless technology, internet protocol (IP) version and mesh routing protocol in line with design specifications and scope
- 1.4Specify and source hardware and software requirements
2 Prepare detailed WMN designs
- 2.1Determine and evaluate the maximum line of sight distances achievable between backbone nodes and mesh nodes
- 2.2Plan sites where mesh nodes will be located and plot to scale on a map
- 2.3Estimate quantity and length of links required between mesh nodes and confirm design is within specifications
- 2.4Design backbone links in mesh topology and determine scalability of future deployments
- 2.5Select location of the internet gateway for the WMN
- 2.6Allocate operating frequencies at mesh nodes, backbone nodes and wireless access points for optimum network performance with minimal interference from adjacent network routers
3 Plan IP addresses and subnet masks
- 3.1Produce an addressing scheme and allocate IP addresses and subnet mask to mesh nodes, backbone nodes and access points
- 3.2Produce a configuration scheme to secure network
4 Document WMN plan
- 4.1Document design, installation plan and drawings for the WMN
- 4.2Following installation, configuration and testing of the WMN, incorporate required 'as built' amendments
Performance evidence
- plan at least two wireless mesh networks (WMN).
- In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- evaluate and select wireless technology and mesh routing protocols
- prepare at least one report outlining WMN design solutions and recommendations for each planned WMN
- produce internet protocols (IP) addressing schemes.
Knowledge evidence
- required legislation, codes, company work practices, regulations and standards, workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements for scoped work
- advantages and disadvantages of the following WMN components:
- radiofrequency bands
- wireless networking hardware, routers and gateways
- IP
- wireless and mesh-routing protocols
- cable loss
- methods of determining and evaluating maximum line of sight distances
- functions and features of:
- mesh nodes
- links between mesh nodes
- backbone links in mesh topology
- internet gateways
- wireless access points
- network routers
- access points
- antenna gain and polarisation
- IP addressing
- subnet masks
- network topologies
- network security
- firewalls
- decibels and required units
- required configuration schemes to secure networks
- calculations for effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP)
- transmission control protocol (TCP)-IP protocols
- workplace plans and reports.
Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Performs calculations, interprets results and evaluates different types of technical data for design solutions
- Oral communication: Uses active listening, observational and questioning techniques to identify different perspectives and confirm, clarify or revise understanding
- Reading: Analyses plans and other documentation from a variety of sources, and consolidates information to evaluate requirements
- Writing: Prepares workplace documentation including reports and design solutions incorporating technical language to communicate complex information clearly and effectively
- Teamwork: Recognises and applies protocols governing what to communicate, with whom and how, in own work context
- Planning and organising: Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes and understanding of context for complex, high-impact activities with strategic implications
- Problem solving: Applies formal, analytical and lateral thinking techniques for identifying issues, generating and evaluating possible solutions
- Technology: Selects and uses digital technologies and systems to achieve work goals and enhance work processes

Questions about assessing ICTTEN527
What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN527 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN527 needs to address all 54 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 27 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 ICTTEN527?
Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN527 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 ICTTEN527 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ICTTEN527 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 ICTTEN527, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
