Actually, if you look in the HTML, at the monopt file
you will see a breakdown of this line.  In a comment below
the table it says:

    The status field is encoded in hex format as described in Appendix B of 
the NTP specification RFC 1305.

There is a table on page 56 of that document showing formats for 
System/Peer/Radio/Error status and a description of the fields.
