    In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

    This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

    PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 

    This unit standard is intended

    ·  To provide proficient knowledge of the areas covered

    ·  For those working in, or entering the workplace in the area of Data Communications & NetworkingPeople 

    credited with this unit standard are able to:

    ·  Monitor the performance of a multi-user networked operating system

    ·  Resolve problems with a multi-user networked operating system

    ·  Maintain a multi-user networked operating system. 
    The performance of all elements is to a standard that allows for further learning in this area. 

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 

    The credit value of this unit is based on a person having prior knowledge and skills to:

    ·  Install and configure a multi-user networked operating system. 

    Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 

    Monitor the performance of a multi-user networked operating system 

    OUTCOME RANGE 

    Performance specifications; Comparison of results; Limitations; Recommendations. 


    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 

    1. The monitoring explains system performance measures, and outlines and justifies a monitoring strategy. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 

    2. The monitoring is carried out in accordance with the monitoring strategy. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 

    3. The monitoring compares the results produced from performance monitoring, with user perception of performance, and identifies discrepancies between the two measures. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 

    4. The monitoring identifies performance-limiting factors. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 

    5. The monitoring outlines recommendations to improve performance, and justifies them using performance analysis. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 

    Resolve problems with a multi-user networked operating system. 

    OUTCOME RANGE 

    Problem-identification; Symptoms; Diagnostics; Documentation. 


    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 

    1. The resolution ensures that the operating system is returned to service, free of problem symptoms. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 

    2. The resolution uses an industry recommended procedure to diagnose problems. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 

    3. The resolution ensures that descriptions of solutions to the problems are justified by diagnostic evidence. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 

    4. The resolution uses a diagnostic tool to diagnose problems. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 

    5. The resolution ensures that the problem causes and resolutions are documented according to industry recommended practice. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3 

    Maintain a multi-user networked operating system. 

    OUTCOME RANGE 

    Security; Integrity; Backups; Performance factors. 


    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 

    1. The maintenance ensures that any configurations made to the multi-user networked operating system are in accordance with organisation requirements. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 

    2. The maintenance ensures that changes to the multi-user networked operating system maintain the integrity and security of the software. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 

    3. The maintenance ensures that monitoring and tuning of the system maximises operation and performance, and meets manufacturer and organisation specifications. 


  • 114054 LG 1.7 SESSION 1: SETTING UP USER ACCESS

    On completion of this section you will be able to set up user access to a local area computer network. 

    1. User accounts are created and deleted according to manufacturer`s recommendations and specified user requirements. 
    2. Access documentation is completed according to specified organisation requirements. 
    3. User accounts are validated according to specified organisation requirements. 


  • 114054 LG 1.6 HOW YOU WILL BE ASSESSED

    This programme has been aligned to registered unit standards.  You will be assessed against the outcomes of the unit standards by completing a knowledge assignment that covers the essential embedded knowledge stipulated in the unit standards.  When you are assessed as competent against the unit standards, you will receive a certificate of competence and be awarded 7 credits towards a National Qualification.
