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

249 === 3.2.1 Overview ===
250
251
252 Customers can use their own package maintenance system instead of using the default one from Dragino. They need to set up a package maintenance system for Debian. Lots of instructions are available in Internet, below is a reference instruction.
