This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to commission and decommission a range of networked security systems. Commissioning includes establishing equipment interconnections and parameters, installing software, setting configurations, loading hardware data, testing performance and securing systems over internet protocol (IP) networks. Decommissioning includes isolating existing services and terminating energy sources.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
