ZW-L and CAB-1L operation

After reading the ZW-L instruction manual I have a few questions:

The manual was written in 2/13 prior to the introduction of the CAB-1L so the only references are for Legacy CAB-2 990 or the original CAB-1.  According to the instructions on page 19 prior to using the Legacy remote you need to set the device type, control mode and assign a unique ID# to each output must be set.

So, with the CAB-1L how do you do that with the exception of setting the ID#.

The ZW-L manual has brief information on page 24 about running Non-Lionel locomotives with the CAB-2/CAB-1 remote.  Is this for operating MTH proto 2-3 engines and if so what are the procedures to do that.

Frankly in a lot of the instruction manuals produced after the CAB-1L was available there is a brief reference to the ability to use it with various engines but very little specific instructions on how to do that.  

I recently read the instruction manual that came with the new Lionchief Plus 2.0 0-6-0T engine and while it does say you can control the engine with a CAB1-L there are no specific instructions on how to do that.

I wish that Lionel took the time to update the ZW-L manual or at least have updated instructions on line.

At the same time they should also update the CAB-1L manual as well.
