"." means your appliance's clock is not synchronized to a source clock.

Even if you manually set the clock and date of your appliance, this is not a "reliable" clock source.

NTP/SNTP is the reliable method of synchronizing the clock.

Yes, I can see you've configured an NTP source BUT it's not synchronize.
