Hello Kester, Setting the first value in the defaults directive to 1 indicates that you want to use the 6-12 LJ potential. As far as I understand, setting N is only necessary if you want the repulsive LJ term to be something other than 12. I don't think you need to do anything else. The first defaults entry looks good.
See page 144 of the Gromacs 5.0.2 manual.
