Centrix has released NetworkLocation 2.3 for Mac OS X. The system utility can help you set up different network locations for at home, at work and even for when you're on the go. Download this here demo and you too may find switching between locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings.

A network location is a group of settings for your

network ports (for example, your computer's Ethernet port, modem port, or AirPort Card). As a working, dynamic person who always has to be somewhere (including lunch breaks), switching between locations but never leaving work behind, can be a drag.

This is where NetworkLocation 2.3 for Mac OS X comes in. At the "Office" folks usually connect to the company network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort. At "Home," people generally use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet. NetworkLocation enables you to create your locations (home and work), with their respective connection settings, and switch between them as you change your location. As Centrix.ca themselves put it, "NetworkLocation lets you define a different default for every location."

Available Actions in NetworkLocation include: Set the system location; Set the system volume; Enable or disable Airport; Set the display brightness; Open a URL; Connect to a server; Change Apple Mail SMTP servers - select which server to use with which account; Change Apple Mail Settings - frequency that mail is checked; iChat status message
Launch an application or run a script; Quit an application; Play an iTunes playlist; Change the default printer; Set screensaver settings - start screensaver delay, require password to wake from screensaver and sleep; Lock keychain; Enable or disable Bluetooth; Synchronize iSync - set maximum sync period; Change desktop picture; Change time zone.

NetworkLocation 2.3 features increased extensibility with new plug-in support. On top of all, Centrix's SDK allows devs to manipulate the program and build their own actions. Version 2.3 adds support for MacBook Air users, including running shell commands in a Terminal window, and an action to ensure network connectivity before performing network-related tasks.

NetworkLocation 2.3 costs $25.00. Owners of an older version can upgrade to NetworkLocation 2.3 for free.
