<CHAPTER LABEL="2"><TITLE><BEGINPAGE PAGENUM=11 ID="BP11"><XMARK id="FM14307">Configuring Locations</TITLE><PARA>NetWare® Mobile(tm) makes it possible for you to connect to your network from any location by maintaining location-specific information about the location in a "location profile". For each physical location in which you work, or for each networking environment in each physical location, you define the properties of that location and create a new location profile.</PARA>
<PARA>This chapter provides an overview of creating and editing location profiles in NetWare Mobile.</PARA>
<SECT1><TITLE>Creating New Locations</TITLE><PARA>There are two ways of creating a new location: during Setup, when NetWare Mobile is installed, and by running the Locations program from the Mobile Control Panel, at any time after NetWare Mobile is installed.</PARA>
<SECT2><TITLE>During Setup</TITLE><PARA>When Setup is run to install NetWare Mobile, you (or your network administrator) should create a profile of the current location: working in the office with a LAN connection to the network, for example. After the current location is configured, Setup allows you to create as many other profiles as you want for locations where you will be working in future: physically disconnected from the network while travelling and dialing in from home using your modem, for example.</PARA>
<BEGINPAGE PAGENUM=11 ID="BP12"><BEGINPAGE PAGENUM=12></SECT2>
<SECT2><TITLE>Using the Locations Program</TITLE><PARA>At any time after NetWare Mobile is installed, you can create a new location profile by choosing the Locations program from the Mobile Control Panel, which is part of the NetWare Mobile program group. The dialog shown in <IXREF idref="FM29941">Figure 2-1</IXREF> appears.</PARA>
<FIGURE LABEL="2-1"><TITLE><XMARK id="FM29941">Locations</TITLE>

</SECT2>
<SECT2><TITLE>Running the New Location Coach</TITLE><PARA>Whether you create a location profile in Setup or in the Locations program (by choosing <KEYCAP>&lt;New...></KEYCAP>; see <IXREF idref="FM29941">Figure 2-1</IXREF>), you start the New Location "coach", a series of dialogs that makes it easy for you to define a location by prompting you for each piece of information required.</PARA>
<PARA>You provide the following information about the location:</PARA>
<ITEMIZEDLIST MARK=BULLET><LISTITEM><PARA>A unique name.</PARA>
</LISTITEM>
<LISTITEM><PARA>Whether or not you want to base the new location on an existing location. If you do, the rest of the New Location coach dialogs will display the values from the existing location profile as defaults; simply change them as required to create the new location profile.</PARA>
<BEGINPAGE PAGENUM=13 ID="BP13"></LISTITEM>
<LISTITEM><PARA>The type of physical connection to the network.</PARA>
<PARA>If you choose a LAN adapter, you can then specify which adapter to use and adapter settings, such as the media frame type, or accept the default values.</PARA>
<PARA>If you choose a modem, you specify the modem make and model, the communications (COM) port to which the modem is connected, and telephone dialing information, such as the number required to obtain an outside line at the location and the telephone calling card you want to use to pay for dial-in connections.</PARA>
<PARA>You can also choose to work "offline" at the location, which means that you do not have a physical connection to the network and that you want to use network files and directories that you have replicated on to your own computer's hard disk.</PARA>
</LISTITEM>
<LISTITEM><PARA>Whether or not you want to use NetWare. If you do, you can specify the server and/or the NDS(tm) tree that you want to log in to by default at the location.</PARA>
</LISTITEM>
<LISTITEM><PARA>Whether or not you want to use TCP/IP, to connect to the Internet or any other service that requires TCP/IP. You can then configure TCP/IP to specify address information, if required.</PARA>
</LISTITEM>
</ITEMIZEDLIST>
<PARA>Once you finish defining the location, a location profile is created and the new location appears in the list of available locations. After you reboot your computer, you will be able to choose the new location at startup from the Location Selection dialog (<IXREF idref="FM22401">Figure 1-1 on page 4</IXREF>).</PARA>
</SECT2>
<SECT2><TITLE>Additional Location Configuration</TITLE><PARA>Using the New Location coach to create a location profile allows you to specify most of the information required for location configuration. Other information, such as dial-in services for modem connections, can only be specified by editing location properties after a location is created. Read <IXREF idref="FM18630">"Editing Locations" on page 14</IXREF> in this chapter for more information.</PARA>
<BEGINPAGE PAGENUM=14 ID="BP14"></SECT2>
<SECT2><TITLE>Creating Locations for Other Users</TITLE><PARA>You (or your network administrator) may want to create a location profile on your computer and then distribute the new location profile to other users on the network for their own use.</PARA>
<PARA>You can do this by creating a location, or selecting an existing location from the list, using the Locations program (<IXREF idref="FM29941">Figure 2-1 on page 12</IXREF>). Then choose <KEYCAP>&lt;Export...></KEYCAP>.</PARA>
<PARA>The location profile is sent to the users of your choice as a .PRF file, via your mail service (such as GroupWise(tm)). A description of the location profile, in the form of a mail message, is included with the .PRF file.</PARA>
<PARA>When receiving a profile, a user can read the mail message and use the information to modify or create a location.</PARA>
<PARA>The user can also choose to add an entire location by saving the .PRF file and then, in the Locations program (<IXREF idref="FM29941">Figure 2-1 on page 12</IXREF>), choosing <KEYCAP>&lt;Import...></KEYCAP>. The New Location coach will start automatically, displaying the values of the imported location profile as defaults. The imported location can either be accepted as configured or modified.</PARA>
</SECT2>

<SECT1><TITLE>Printing Offline</TITLE><PARA>When you are working offline, and you are not connected to a printer at your current location, you can still send print jobs to the "offline printer". When you do this, NetWare Mobile captures the print job and saves it in an offline print queue. Then, when you start working at a location where a printer is available, you will be prompted to print your offline print jobs. Because offline print jobs are saved in a printer-independent format, you can print them on any printer supported by the printer drivers you have loaded on your computer.</PARA>
<PARA>Printing offline involves two steps: setting the default printer to the offline printer and managing the offline print queue.</PARA>
<SECT2><TITLE>Setting the Default Printer</TITLE><PARA>In order to send print jobs to the offline printer automatically, you need to specify the offline printer as your default printer when working at the offline location.</PARA>
<PARA>You can set your default printer to the offline printer in the same way you set any other printer as the default in Windows. Do either of the following:</PARA>
<ITEMIZEDLIST MARK=BULLET><LISTITEM><PARA>Choose the Windows Control Panel from the Main program group and then choose Printers. From the list of installed printers, select the offline printer and choose <KEYCAP>&lt;Set As Default Printer></KEYCAP>.</PARA>
