AIR-AP3802I-QK910C - Cisco Aironet 3800i Access Point Configurable

AIR-AP3802I-QK910C Order Identity

AIR-AP3802I-QK910C 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 Q, and uses a configurable 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.

The C suffix marks a configurable order form. The final Cisco quotation must preserve the selected regulatory domain and any configuration choices; the suffix does not make the unit globally deployable.

Regulatory-domain control

The order carries regulatory-domain token Q. Treat that token as an identifier, not a country name. Complete domain-token reconciliation and RF design sign-off 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 Q.

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.

Regulatory approval

Use Cisco's country compliance information for the deployment address and retain the result. The domain letter must not be translated into a country from memory. Keep the Cisco lookup date, destination country, approved domain and reviewer with the asset record. If the deployment country changes, stop and repeat the approval rather than assuming that a previously purchased AP can move across borders. Controller settings and antenna choices must remain consistent with that evidence.

Serial registration

Capture each serial number against the site, controller and asset owner. For multi-unit orders, reconcile every chassis rather than recording only the carton SKU. For each received unit, preserve the carton reference, chassis serial, MAC address, deployment site and controller assignment. A ten-unit pack needs ten reconciled asset rows and exception handling for shortages or substitutions. This control prevents a pack-level SKU from obscuring which physical AP is covered by support or replacement work.

Site acceptance

Commission association, authentication, roaming, uplink negotiation and monitoring at the intended location. Preserve results that can be compared after later changes. The handover record should contain client authentication, DHCP and DNS checks, roaming evidence, controller alarms, switch-port counters and a monitoring owner. Test from representative client types in the intended coverage area. Acceptance is incomplete when the AP merely joins the controller but user and operational paths remain unverified.

Order reconciliation

Match the exact regulatory-domain token, antenna form, configurable suffix and unit quantity on the Cisco quotation before accepting a substitute. The purchase review should compare every meaningful token in the quoted model with the requested line and this page. Record whether the order is single or ten-unit, internal or external antenna, configurable or fixed-domain. Any substitution requires a new regulatory, antenna, quantity and lifecycle review before acceptance.

Lifecycle and migration evidence

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