AIR-AP3802P-GK910 - Cisco Aironet 3800p Access Point

AIR-AP3802P-GK910 Order Identity

AIR-AP3802P-GK910 is a Cisco Aironet 3800 Series, controller-based 802.11ac Wave 2 access point order. This exact SKU is a 3802P external-antenna access point, carries regulatory-domain token G, and uses a fixed-domain 10-unit eco-pack.

Antenna and quantity boundary

External antenna system required; verify the exact Cisco-supported antenna and connector arrangement. Treat the antenna design as an engineered item: retain the selected antenna, cable path, mounting method and regulatory approval with the access-point order.

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 G. Treat that token as an identifier, not a country name. Complete deployment-country approval and controller domain alignment 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 G.

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.

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.

RF survey

Associate this order with the survey location, channel plan and expected client density. Re-survey after installation if mounting or antenna conditions differ from design. The survey record should show mounting height, obstructions, neighboring radios, channel width and the client mix used for capacity planning. Compare measured post-install coverage with the design and document any power, channel or placement adjustment. This gives the exact order a site-specific purpose beyond a generic product description.

Cable qualification

Test the permanent link and preserve the cable result, patch-cord identity and switch port. A successful low-speed link does not prove multigigabit readiness. Store the certification result for the permanent link and both patch leads, including the test standard and date. Investigate pair faults, excessive length and negotiation fallback before AP commissioning. Link the cable record to the switch port and AP serial so later throughput problems can be separated from radio behavior.

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.

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.

G-domain migration wave

Use the ten G-domain units as a defined migration wave rather than generic stock. Name the old AP, new serial, controller state, antenna change and rollback owner for every site, then close monitoring and asset updates after the RF comparison passes.

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.
