Compaq in name only. Extreme Networks Summit 48 inside, runs ExtremeWare and identifies itself as Summit48.

Was not able to get it to recognize Cisco RJ-45 GBIC modules.

Default login is username: admin with no password.

The small button on the back near the console port might be to switch between needing a null modem cable and a straight through? Have not experimented yet.
