You can find the information on the product website[1] and the instructions[2]. Effectively it just replaces the antennae with electrodes that provide stimulation at 55Hz. So it can just make the cockroach go left or right (assuming it is moving).
There doesn't seem to be any other control, so you (presumably) cannot make the cockroach go forward, backward, up, down, faster or slower. I imaging to get that sort of control they would need to hijack more sense organs or the brain itself.
I guess the human analogy would be like overriding the inner-ear mechanisms (Vestibular system) to control balance (left and right).
