If It has the same physical package as a Z3801A, I'd guess it was targeted at
the cell phone tower market and probably speaks the same protocol, or a
subset of the Z3801A commands.
Have you tried the Z3801A software? I have a copy of something called
satstat.
You can try it with your favorite terminal emulator. 19.2, 7bit, odd parity.
I think it will say something on power up. You can check that with a scope.
If you feed it ":SYSTEM:STATUS?" and cr/lf, it might give you back a screen
full of info.
