	170
	171
	172	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.
	173
	174
	175	(% style="color:blue" %)When devices will check for updates?
	176
	177	* Devices will check for updates for every boot.
	178	* Devices will check for updates on every day midnight.
	179
	180	(% style="color:blue" %)What packages will be checked for updates?
	181
	182	dragino-httpd ~-~- Main Web UI http configuration
