Can anyone provide guidance for using Slicemaster and Log4OM 2?

I have the 6600, latest smartsdr on win 10 box hardwired to router. I'm using the flex control and pc headset. Frstack is running (only for having rx and tx on selected slice). I'm trying out slicemaster which is showing the slices correctly. However, I'm having trouble getting slicemaster and log4om 2 to communicate (no band or freq info passed to log40m).

Using the directions in the Log4OM 2 guide for connecting to Slicemaster, I find some discrepancies:

CAT/hamlib set up page - Guide lists rig model to select as 2036, 6xxx stable, program has FlexRadio 6xxx stable which seems reasonable.

TCP radio parameters are the same with address 127.0.0.1, port 7820.

Guide shows a parameter string entry of --model=2036 --rig-file=127.0.0.1:7820 -v, the picture in the guide is the same but no -v at the end. The program has two strings: generated which is the same string except for a -z at the end instead of -v and a Used parameter string which is user supplied. I've tried all three strings with the PTT both ways as described below.

The guide has the TCP Connection with the Connect to active HAMLIB instance not checked. Have tried it with this checked but not in all configs of parameter strings and PTT.

PTT in the guide, has a place to put the rig model and shows the CAT radio button checked. However, the program has a port designation and no rig model. I've tried it with no PTT checked and tried it with CAT checked/com 5 selected in the drop down which is what smart cat shows Slice A using.

I'm stumped and hoping that there's something obvious that I'm missing that the guide assumed I'd know........appreciate any guidance you folks can provide.
