It's easy enough to access. But much easier is it to go to Spectratime website 
and download the manual:
http://www.spectratime.com/products/isource/
http://www.spectratime.com/documents/lpfrs_manual.pdf

Already on page 1 I can read the label of the photo which says

6 : TXD (TTL)
9 : RXD (TTL)

Which is a good hint. Start reading at page 10 in the manual.

See page 13 of the manual and you fill find your confirmation.

As for status, the serial interface should give you a bunch of status report. I 
just haven't taken the time to hook it up.
