	175
	176
	177	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.
	178
	179
	180	(% style="color:blue" %)When devices will check for updates?
	181
	182	* Devices will check for updates for every boot.
	183	* Devices will check for updates on every day midnight.
	184
	185	(% style="color:blue" %)What packages will be checked for updates?
	186
	187	dragino-httpd ~-~- Main Web UI http configuration
