    Well I was a little premature here and I've now sorted out my problem.

     

    With the Configuration Utility, in the first release it looks like clicking on the found switch was sufficient to select it and bring up the passsword prompt - as shown on various u-tube videos.  With later releases of the firmware, clicking on the switch (double or single) only highlights the entry.  You then need to click on APPLY to actually open it.  (I'm so used to double-click on something to select it....)

     

    I'm not too sure what the web interface logon problem was - it may be because the switch was running the original firmware there wasn't much in the way of web support in there if any?  Anyway,having logged on via the Configuration Utility and updated the firmware to the latest release all is fine on that front.
