Its been awhile, but I am pretty sure you would use a terminal program to talk to it...Like putty, hyperterminal etc....
I had several of them out in the field back when.

9600,N,8,1
on power up it will listen for 10 seconds at that setting..waiting for you to send:
$$CPlus
if it doesnt get it in that 10 seconds it reverts to the programmed settings.

This from some old notes

@Kitn1mcc : Holzberg still has some Cimarron (note spelling) stuff on their website, along with manuals: Holzberg Communications - ANI Decoders

Is it a real serial port and do you know it works? Unlike USB where the cables just plug and play, with RS-232, there are two "polarities" (DCE and DTE) for the ports and you have to get the cable wired correctly for the situation. Did you see @WB5UOM comment above about the settings and "password"? The emulation (ANSI, VT100, etc.) should probably not matter unless they were unusually creative in their UI.
