To change the the config register you need to turn on bit 6 with 0x2142 instead of default 0x2102.How does the 2142 relate to bit 6.

You've got 16 bits in the config-register. Counting from the right - the "6th" bit is actually the 7th bit from the right, since the numbering starts with zero.
The 16 bits are represented in hex, so take them in groups of 4 = a nibble.
The "6th" bit is in the 2nd nibble from the right and has a value of 4 when you turn it on, so when the 2nd nibble from the right has a value of 4, then you know the "6th" bit is on.
So... 0x2142 would actually be: 0010000101000010 ...
where you have the 2nd, 7th, 9th, and 14th bit from the right turned on - which are actually the 1st, 6th, 8th, and 13th positions.
Make sense?
