AIR-AP3802P-SK910 - Cisco Aironet 3800p Access Point

AIR-AP3802P-SK910 Order Identity

AIR-AP3802P-SK910 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 S, 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 S. Treat that token as an identifier, not a country name. Complete country approval record and controller provisioning check 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 S.

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.

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.

Replacement planning

Cisco lists the 3800 Series in its end-of-life notices. Record the permitted service horizon, replacement trigger and successor design with this purchase. Document the event that ends further 3802 deployment, the approved successor family and any controller coexistence constraint. Include funding, survey impact and installation sequencing. If the item is purchased as a spare, set a final-use date so old inventory does not silently outlive the network's supported architecture.

Spare policy

State whether the unit is production capacity, a cold spare or a replacement. Define firmware, storage, periodic test and ownership requirements for unused stock. A spare should have a named site scope, compatible controller image, storage condition and periodic power-on test. Record whether its regulatory domain, antenna form and mounting kit match the protected population. Before use, repeat compliance and software checks because suitability can change while the unit is held in stock.

S-domain lifecycle gate

Before distributing this S-domain ten-pack, compare the remaining 3800 support horizon with the deployment schedule and successor plan. Require an exception for any unit that cannot be commissioned before the approved lifecycle gate, and keep unused serials visible in the migration inventory.

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.
