Editing locations

Locations are names of places you use to sign on to Netscape. For example, you can use one location at home called Home and another location at your office called Office. You could also sign using a laptop with a third location called Laptop.

There are two choices you can use for connection type: modem and cable/DSL/LAN. The connection type you select determines your method of editing dding the location.

Editing modem locations

To edit a location using a modem connection:

1		Open your Netscape Sign On window. Double click your Netscape icon on your Microsoft Windows desktop.
2		Select the location you want to edit. Click Select Your Location, then click the location in the list.
3		Click Dialing Options if you are editing a modem connection location. Click Connection Options if you are editing a Cable/DSL/LAN connection location. This opens the Edit Location window.
4		Click Edit This Location to open Step 1.
5		Select the connection type you want to use, then click Next to open Step 2.
6		Enter your area code, then click Next to open Step 3.
7		Click the number you want to add, or un-click a number you want to remove. Click Next to move to Step 4.
8		Review the numbers for the location. Click checkboxes for the dialing requirements at the bottom if they apply to the location. Some areas require 10 digit dialing (area code + local code + number) for local calls, and some areas require a 1 before the area code. Click Next to move to Step 5.
9		Review the dialing options and select those you want to apply to the location. Unselect those you don't want to apply. Call waiting To turn off call waiting, click I have to dial this number to turn off call waiting, then enter the proper code. All pulse phones (most common) use *70. You can also add a comma (*70,) to generate a one second delay. This can help process the call. If you use a rotary phone, enter the code 1170. Outside line Some offices and hotels use phone systems that require you dial a prefix number to reach an outside line, for example, 9. If this applies to your new location, click the checkbox for I have to dial this number to reach an outside line, then enter the prefix number. Voicemail To turn off voicemail, click the checkbox for I have voicemail on this line. Modem speaker To turn off your modem speaker, click the checkbox for I prefer not to hear my modem speaker.
