AIR-SAP3502P-A-K9

Wanted to clarify the product model differences. Web interface shows AIR-CAP3502P-A-K9 but the show ver command gives the SAP.

I remember seeing the P model units are aimed for stadiums or large venue areas correct?

But what is the difference in SAP vs CAP?

Hi SAP means it was ordered

SAP means it was ordered as a autonomous access point .

Good to go, thanks George.If

Good to go, thanks George.

If I could follow-on with this though, two other questions:

Any idea why the cisco network assistant lists the SAP 3502 as an unsupported unit? Sees the 1262 series fine. Haven't tried adding a CAP3502E unit but am curious what you may know.

And second, although I read the P version is for stadium type setups, I didn't see an exact listing of what makes it different than an E version.

Thanks

Not sure on the NA software. I've never used it before. I would make sure it's on the latest update.

As for -p and -s. I was told there was no difference in the past. But, I just emailed the 3x series product manager to confirm ..

The versions are like this:i

The versions are like this:

i = internal antenna built in the access points

e = external antenna required

CAP = CAPWAP model and requires a WLC

SAP = Standalone autonomous access point

Maybe CNA is an older version which "knows" only the old 1260?

NA is running at 6.1 and the update prompt says there is nothing newer.

I started using NA to get a web style interface for the 3750 that HP put as standard for the Procurve line. I can see NA has a few options that don't require logging into the actual AP webUI, so I suppose this is a decent option unless you call can suggest another similar program to NA?

Aruba Airwave is an inexpensive solution. It does the trick for folks that don't need the power of PRIME ..

Here is what I got back from the 3x product manager

Differences for all the P's 3500/3600/3700 is they are FCC certified for outdoor use and have the TWDR channels disabled as per FCC

Forget the 2 channels off the top of my head

Also 3502P supports original "stadium" grayling antenna

3702P supports newest high gain next generation of the grayling

Just got another email ..

George Stefanick — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:22:50 GMT

Just got another email .. Probably more than you wanted to know 🙂 but there you have it ..

The two channels are 116 and 132. These are disabled on the "p" version.
The 3702P also has different power tables to correctly support the high gain, narrow beamwidth grayling antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N=).

Network Assistant works on specific devices, I don't thing it was meant for wireless.

Jeremy Patrick — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:35:44 GMT

lol, no worries, thanks for the info.

The outdoor model is a bit overkill for what I'm needing it for. Picked this one up third-hand and think it was labeled at that point as an E version.

Unless anyone here is in need/want of this particular model, I'll probably be swapping this out just for ease of administration.

lol, yeah that made me stop
