	184
	185
	186	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.
	187
	188
	189	(% style="color:blue" %)When devices will check for updates?
	190
	191	* Devices will check for updates for every boot.
	192	* Devices will check for updates on every day midnight.
	193
	194	(% style="color:blue" %)What packages will be checked for updates?
	195
	196	dragino-httpd ~-~- Main Web UI http configuration
	197
