GEL are not AGM. Very different and charging GEL like AGM will kill them.
User settings. Program for the battery specified absorption and float voltages - typically 14.0 (x4) and 13.8 (x4), respectively.

Thanks for your reply I have the following battery information as you can see in the attached photo. what are the absorption voltage and float voltage?

"cyclic" is what you want.
Are you 100% certain that's a GEL battery? 14.6-15.0 is absurdly high for an actual GEL battery. It's more typical of AGM.

It is a euronet 12v 200ah, in their site they say it is a gel battery when I opened the box I get this paper as manual for charging the battery? So what should I do. I am using 56 for charging and 55.2 for float for 48v system

Well, I'm not going to argue with the manual.
I would stick with 14.6 x 4 = 58.4V bulk/boost/absorption
and 13.6 x 4 = 54.4V float.
At 58.4V, it's critical that NONE of the 12V batteries are over 15.0V - preferably, they're all at very nearly 14.6V.
If you didn't so so before you made 48V, you should individually charge the 12V to 14.6V.
