Word of caution: as these units are end of life and can no longer be repaired
I would not connect to them unless necessary "if it ain't broke, Don't fix it".
That being said here are the links below.

good video. how do you connect to sps880 extreme?

[@sitechlouisiana8121]

The SPS880 Extreme was prior to the Web UI. In order to connect to it you would use the Trimble Winflash Software and a DB9 to DB9 Null Modem cable or a DB9 to 7 pin Lemo. Most computers now don't have a serial DB9 connection anymore. So you would need to get a USB to Serial adapter cable. They can be purchased from Cables To Go or other online retailers. I'll try and put a link to a version of Winflash for the SPS880 in the description for you.

When I reset my sps985 only the wifi and satellite icons flash (the radio icon does not). This causes no radio output and my data collector can not sync to it. Any ideas for a solution?
