422
423
424 By default, LPS8v2 / MS20 series products have an auto-update feature for main packages. The device will connect to Dragino's auto-update server and check for updates. 
425
426
427 (% style="color:blue" %)**When devices will check for updates**?
428
429 * Devices will check for updates for every boot.
430 * Devices will check for updates on every day midnight.
431
432 (% style="color:blue" %)**What packages will be checked for updates**?
433
434 dragino-httpd ~-~- Main Web UI http configuration
