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.
