Status / Information Windows
Note: The SyncServer 6x0 does not contain a battery-backed
real time clock. Therefore, it will always boot up with a default
value for the system time. This time will be updated when it
obtains time from a time reference such as GNSS, IRIG, or
NTP. The default value for the date is the software build date.
This date will be used for the first log entries when booting up
the unit. The time will change to local time during the boot-up
process if a time zone has been configured.

sources.
