Prism 1000 modem and serial cart

Howdy!
I just bought this -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dragon-32-64- ... true&rt=nc
- It is a Prism 1000 modem and it comes with a cart which has a serial plug on the end to connect to the modem.Software is on ROM in the cart.
However i am getting nowhere with it - the menus don't have any options for dialling, parity, baud rates, stop bits or any of the usual things. If you click the link and look at the screen shots, you can see what i mean.
Dropping into terminal mode gives me a nice white screen with no dialog or statements.
If i connect everything up, then the noise from the phone - "please hang up and try again" - causes rubbish to appear on the screen - so as far as i can tell, the hardware is working. However the actual meat of using the modem seems to be hidden, and obviously by now you will have figured that i don't have a manual - there must be key combos somewhere for the cart.
Anyone used this - have a manual, or even used a modem/serial cart that could be similar in key combo function.
I was quite looking forward to hopping on a few BBS's with my Dragon 32.
Anyone?
