Any help on what numbers need to be input would be great. Customer support by email is responsive, but frankly useless. Asking if one has downloaded the instructions is not customer service. Supporting your product and having the software for it, as advertised, IS.
Here's the confusion: It doesn't matter whether the .ini files are loaded for the 2 and 3. They can be opened with a text editor and read. They are rather human readable. You may enter them by hand from here. These are the contents of the .ini files.
Here are the entire contents:
