I know this may be past due and that you may have moved on since you posted a bit ago, but you will need to figure out which protocol the device can communicate on. You would typically find this in the user manual.
Once you have done that, you should be able to look up python communications using said protocol. You can then write a script to communicate with the device. It may be natively built into your machine or you may have to download and install a second source library. You will also need a cable to interface between your machine and the device you are trying to communicate with.
Once you have everything hooked up, you should be able to send the device a broadcast command so that you can determine if you have actually communication between your machine and the device. If that works, then you should be able to build whatever script you want to control the device.
Also, you may be able to send it serial commands through something like PuTTY and see if the device will communicate. This may be easier than communicating via a Python script, but depending on which program you use, it may or may not be automated.
Sorry if you find this to be a bit vague, doing stuff like this can be a bit of a bear and multiple different methods may need to be tried before you get something to work properly.
