Synchronization modes
If you specify Normal mode for all units on the network, so no Master node is
available, when you specify time and date settings on any of the units, they
will be assigned to the others automatically.
If a unit on the network is using Time Server or Master mode, all units in
Normal mode will be assigned time and date settings from that unit – they
will act as slaves.
The time and date settings from this unit will be assigned to all units that are
using Normal mode.
This node will contact a time server to retrieve time and date settings. The
time and date settings from this unit will be assigned to all units that are using
Normal mode.
The time server can be contacted using its IP address or a domain name.
Note: When you use a domain name, it must be resolved to an IP address.
This is done automatically, but you must specify DNS or DHCP settings on
the Network screen in the web interface.

the format mm/dd/yy.
