bottom table summary appears as 'Showing 1 to 5 of undefined entries'

I'm loading Json data from a server, where does 'undefined' come from? Is there something in the JSon data that tells the table what 'it' is?

There certainly is - if you are using server-side processing (which you must be in this case) you need to return a couple of parameters to tell DataTables how many records there are in the results set. These parameters are defined here:

Having a look at the XHR in the demo can also be useful:
