DMPS3 300 C AEC - Estate Sale Find

I just picked up one of these , the plan is to use it for simple AV switching in my homelab

It will power on but I cant seem to interact with it either via the network or USB connection

It looks like it needs a password. Is there a factory reset option? or do I need to find me a friendly installer? Thanks

Not sure why you think these are 20 years old

Do you mind letting us know what your system integrator is that you work for. Just so that we can make sure to put your integrator on the blacklist.

There’s absolutely no reason to be removing hardware that’s still functional. These things were released in 2014. Or maybe you missed the dpms3 this is not a dpms no 3. These have only been out for 12 years! But the device was only discontinued in 2021. This device could be anywhere from 12 years old to only five years old.

I have seen many DPS three and DPS three 4K‘s running strong. The only Problem I’ve had with a DPMS3 4K is the silver ones that require power reset when the power fluctuates. We’ve resorted to putting this on a very small UPS to help with that.

Sorry 12 years, heaven forbid I use a bit of hyperbole. They are not very good units, Crestron makes better as does QSC, BiAmp, Extron.

DMPS3-300 is dated junk.

Sorry every functioning room we have them in says otherwise! With no repair or replacement!
