AIR-AP3802I-FK910 - Cisco Aironet 3800i Access Point

AIR-AP3802I-FK910 Order Identity

AIR-AP3802I-FK910 is a Cisco Aironet 3800 Series, controller-based 802.11ac Wave 2 access point order. This exact SKU is a 3802I internal-antenna access point, carries regulatory-domain token F, and uses a fixed-domain 10-unit eco-pack.

Antenna and quantity boundary

Integrated antennas; no external antenna is included or selected as part of this SKU. Confirm the mounting position, ceiling construction and intended coverage because antenna orientation is determined by the integrated-antenna enclosure.

Cisco identifies the K910 order form as an eco-pack containing 10 access points; carton-level receiving must reconcile all ten serial numbers.

This is a non-C fixed-domain order form. Receiving must match the exact domain-bearing SKU and must not substitute a configurable or different-domain line without approval.

Regulatory-domain control

The order carries regulatory-domain token F. Treat that token as an identifier, not a country name. Complete destination-country verification and RF acceptance evidence against Cisco's current compliance resources before shipment or activation.

Cisco uses the variable regulatory-domain position in its ordering structure. Deployment eligibility must be checked for the destination country; this page does not infer a country mapping from token F.

Controller readiness

Record the intended Cisco wireless controller, supported software train and join method. Validate the AP on a staging network before changing the production RF plan. The acceptance file should identify the controller address, discovery path, AP authorization method and the release evidence used for approval. Capture the first successful join, configuration download and radio state, then remove any temporary staging authorization. This makes a later controller migration traceable without claiming that every software release supports the hardware.

Power budget

Confirm the switch port's negotiated PoE mode, available power, cable length and LLDP behavior. Keep the measured power result with commissioning evidence. Measure the power state after both radios and production features are active, not only while the unit is idle. Record switch model, port, power class, negotiated result and any feature reduction shown by the controller. If an injector is proposed, verify its Cisco support and place it in the maintained bill of materials.

Mounting inventory

List the ceiling or wall bracket, enclosure, safety restraint and access requirements. Receiving should reject a mechanically incomplete deployment kit. Receiving should identify the bracket and any above-ceiling, wall, enclosure or seismic requirement before scheduling installers. Photograph the mounting label and cable entry after installation, and record access constraints for replacement. Missing mechanical parts should be resolved as a bill-of-material exception, not hidden in the AP description.

Software lifecycle

Check the target controller release against Cisco support documentation and the approved migration architecture before buying additional 3800 Series capacity. The lifecycle note should name the approved controller release, last tested release, security-maintenance owner and migration review date. Review Cisco notices before each expansion because available inventory does not extend software compatibility. A replacement design should cover controller, licensing, power, cabling and mounting rather than only the radio unit.

Antenna governance

Keep antenna identity and approved installation conditions with the AP record. A matching connector alone is not evidence of regulatory or RF suitability. For external-antenna models, preserve manufacturer part numbers, connector arrangement, gain, pattern, cable type, loss and mounting orientation. For internal-antenna models, preserve enclosure orientation and placement constraints. In both cases, compare the installed design with country approval and the RF survey before service acceptance.

Change control

Define the staging date, installation window, rollback owner and validation threshold before the AP is joined to a production controller. The change record should list staging evidence, production window, responsible installer, rollback decision and success criteria. Preserve the previous controller or AP state needed for recovery. After the window, close temporary credentials and compare monitoring, authentication and RF results with the approved baseline before declaring completion.

Lifecycle and migration evidence

Cisco's support site lists an end-of-life announcement for the Cisco Aironet 3800 Series. Confirm current support dates, controller compatibility and the approved replacement path before treating available stock as suitable for a new deployment.
