There are lots of parameters related to the 4th axis but couldn't see any that enable it - couldn't see any 900 option bits either so it could be a standard feature (not an option)
I'd imagine there are some 8000 parameters to set for the 4th axis motor type, see this post:

PS, I thought GIBO was some kind of acronym so googled it and found an interesting definition

I remember retro-fitting the 4th axis several years ago. I would have documented the parameters at the time. It would have been recorded on a service sheet which may have been discarded in the move. I will not be able to check until friday but will let you know what I find.
I presume the motor parameters are set it just needs to know it has the 4th axis fitted.
