Thanks guys.
Some progress. One reason I wasn't able to access this device via http turned out to be that my browsers (Chrome and Safari) don't support frames. Rather than retreat to Explorer, I've loaded Firefox and lo and behold, I have been able to get into the device just a little via the router. I can now access it's configuration and have been able to determine its MAC and IP addresses, change the admin password, reset the date/time and that's about it.
But, I still can't get into the data on the drive. The admin logon and password I set on the device via the http routine are not being recognised by Windows. And I have turned off password sharing as well. In the http setup, I see that DHCP in on auto and NTP server is not activated. Do either of those settings need to be changed?
I guess that in a journey of a thousand steps (thank you grasshopper) I have at least taken one.
