the local grandmaster. Note: this offset it not automatically adjusted for in the DSA.

TIME
Get/Set
Sets or retrieves the current internal time of the DSA. TIME cannot be set if PTP is enabled and a
PTP Grandmaster is on the network. If the DSA is receiving PTP information, this time will update
according to the time/date received.
TIME <YYYY/MM/DD> <hh:mm:ss>
Where <YYYY/MM/DD> is a valid date after 1970/1/1:
YYYY = year
MM = month
DD = day
Where <hh:mm:ss> is a valid time using the 24-hour clock:
hh = hour from 0 to 24
mm = minute from 0 to 60
ss = second from 0 to 60
TIME <YYYY/MM/DD> <hh:mm:ss>
