SET DATE
Prompts you to enter the new date for the Master Card. When the date is set on the Master

reflected on the system’s Master, and all connected devices. This will not update clocks on
devices connected to another Master (in Master-to-Master systems).

Prompts you to enter a Domain Name, DNS IP #1, DNS IP #2, and DNS IP #3. Then, you
