Communicating with ethernet to serial LED sign - is this feasible?
I have a london-electronics LED sign I picked up on eBay which I would like to display custom messages on programmatically. It is working ok.
Opening it up, it has an ethernet to serial connection currently plugged in and a serial connection currently unplugged internally (same connectors). Ideally, I would like to communicate with it over ethernet to save plugging a computer into it directly.
The manufacturer kindly provided me with some links detailing serial communication with the LED sign.
Is it feasible to communicate with it over ethernet without using their windows software? If so, how can I send serial commands over ethernet?

NDPMON(8) System Manager's Manual NDPMON(8)
NAME
ndpmon - Neighbor Discovery Protocol Monitor
SYNOPSIS
ndpmon [ -i interfacename ] [ -f configfile ] [ -d dtd_file ] [ -F filter ]
[ -n number ] [ -L ] [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -d dtd_file ]
[ -g neighbor_file ]
DESCRIPTION
NDPMon is a monitoring software for ipv6 Neighbor Discovery. It syslogs activity and reports by email malicious ND message. NDPMon uses
libpcap to listen for icmp6 packets and libxml2 to use configuration and neighbor cache files.
The -i flag is used to change the default interface eth0.
The -f flag is used to change the path of the configuration file. The default is /etc/ndpmon/config_ndpmon.xml
The -e flag is used to change the path to the DTD file for the configuration file. The default is /etc/ndpmon/config_ndpmon.dtd
The -n flag uses libpcap to specify a limited number of packet to capture.
The -F flag allows one to change the default icmp6 filter.
The -L flag is used to disable syslog and mail reports. This is used to do a learning phase and constitue the neighbor cache.
The -v is used to enable the DEBUG mode.
The -d flag is used to change the path to the DTD file for the neighbor cache. The default is /var/lib/ndpmon/neighbor_list.dtd
The -g flag is used to change the path to the neighbor cache. The default is /var/lib/ndpmon/neighbor_list.xml
Note that an empty neighbor_cache.xml file must be created before the first time you run ndpmon.
NDPMon must be run with root rights to work.
