170 === 3.1.1 How Package-Auto-Update works? ===
171
172
173 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. 
174
175
176 (% style="color:blue" %)**When devices will check for updates**?
177
178 * Devices will check for updates for every boot.
179 * Devices will check for updates on every day midnight.
180
181 (% style="color:blue" %)**What packages will be checked for updates**?
182
183 dragino-httpd ~-~- Main Web UI http configuration
184
185 dragino-sid  ~-~- SN write and read tool
186
187 dragino-ui  ~-~- Gateway Web UI package
188
189 draginofwd   ~-~- UDP packet forwarder, LoRa Base Station
190
191 draginoups   ~-~- Miscellaneous between different versions

236 === 3.2.1 Overview ===
237
238
239 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.

437 The device performs automatic updates from this script,
438
439 But it will now only look for dragino as a keyword, so you need to replace the keyword dragino with your own keyword.
