This sure looks like a Super Vexta 5-phase drive. You may have a switch
(sometimes labeled 1P/2P) to select between CW/CCW and step/direction.
If not, then you can't use this with any step/direction software without
some
hardware to convert the signals. I wonder if that's what the G/B switch
does?

I have run my super vexta 100 V drive on 120 V us power for many hours.

The CW+ goes to your + 5 V power supply. The CW- goes to the command
output (ie, parallel port pin).

The motors are typically 400 steps/rev (now, is that half step or full
step? I
can't remember.)
