From Notes Client HELP:

Look for item 6

Location documents in your address book specify settings such as the server where your mail resides, whether you work online or offline with an outgoing mailbox, and whether you use a passthru server. When you move to a different physical location, such as your home, where you change the way you connect to servers, you can make adjustments automatically by selecting a different Location document. For more information, see To switch to a different location.

During installation, Notes automatically creates six Location documents: Office (Network), Home (Notes Direct Dialup), Home (Network Dialup), Travel (Notes Direct Dialup), Internet, and Island (Disconnected). During configuration, Notes populates these Location documents, as well as any necessary Connection or Account documents, based on information you supply.

When you choose File - Preferences - Client Reconfiguration Wizard, Notes enters complete and accurate configuration data in the current Location document, as well as automatically creating any necessary server Connection or Account documents for the type of connection method you are configuring. You usually never have to create or edit any locations manually, but you can if you need an unusual type of location. Ask your administrator for assistance in creating any new Location documents manually.

To create or edit a Location document manually

Ask your Domino administrator for the following before you begin:

The name of your home (mail) server

Whether you can use a network server and the name of that server

Whether you use a passthru server and the name of that server

Whether you use a Domino directory server and the name of that server

Whether you use a domain search server (for searching multiple databases in your organization) and the name of that server

Whether you use a Sametime (instant messaging) server and the name of that server

Whether your organization uses a proxy server for connection to the Internet, and the settings to specify for that server

From the menu, choose File - Mobile - Locations. Notes opens the Locations view of your Personal Address Book.
Do one of the following:

To create a Location document, click the “New” button and choose “Location.”

To edit a Location document, select the location and click the “Edit Location” button.

On the Basics tab in the “Location name” field, enter a name for this location.
In the “Location type” field, do one of the following:

To use a LAN (for example at your office), a cable modem, or a DSL phone line, select “Local Area Network.”

To connect to a Domino server with a dialup modem over a telephone line, but using a network server to give you LAN access, select “Network Dialup.”

To connect to a Domino server with a dialup modem over a telephone line, select “Notes Direct Dialup.”

To connect to an Internet Service Provider with a dialup modem over a telephone line, select “Network Dialup.”

To create your own location (if none of the supplied locations suits your purpose), select “Custom.”

To stay disconnected (for example if you always work locally at this location and don’t replicate), select “No connection.”

Note Notes shows different options depending on the location type you select.

Enter an e-mail address in the “Internet mail address” field. This can be either the Internet version of your organizational Notes mail address, for example jsmith@acme.com, or an e-mail address assigned to you by an Internet Service Provider, for example myfunname@myisp.com.

Tip If you want to use two identities over the Internet, create two locations with different names, and use different e-mail addresses for each.

(Optional) In the “Prompt for time/date/phone” field, select Yes if you want Notes to ask you for location-specific information when you use the location. For example, you may want to supply the phone number for a hotel when you use the Travel location.
In the Proxy field (does not appear for Notes Direct Dialup locations), specify options for connecting to the Internet through a proxy server if your organization uses one.

For more information on proxy servers, see Setting up your Web connection.

Click the Servers tab.

In the “Home/mail server” field, enter the name of your Domino home server.

(Optional) In the “Passthru server” field, specify a passthru server for the location.

(Optional) In the “Catalog/domain search server” field, specify a domain search server for the location.

(Optional) In the “Domino directory server” field, enter the name of your Domino directory server.

(Optional) In the “Sametime server” field, enter the name of your Sametime server.

Click Ports and select at least one of the ports that Notes lists.

Note You can enable additional ports using File - Preferences - User Preferences. If you are unsure which port to use, check with your Domino administrator for a network connection, or your hardware documentation for a dialup modem connection (usually a port beginning with COM).

Click the Mail tab and specify mail settings for the location, especially whether you want to keep mail on the server and work online or work offline in a local mail database and replicate changes.
(Optional) Click the “Internet Browser” tab and select a browser to use at this location–Notes, Notes with Internet Explorer, Netscape NavigatorTM, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Other. If you select Other, click the flashlight icon under “Internet browser path” to specify the location of the application in your operating system. The default is Notes.
(Optional) Click the Replication tab and set up a replication schedule for this location. The replication schedule is disabled by default. This is the same schedule you can set up on the Replicator page or by choosing File - Replication - Settings and clicking “Change Schedule.”
Click the “Phone Settings” tab if this is a Dialup location, and specify phone dialing information.
(Optional) Click the Advanced tab to specify additional settings such as Web retrieval, Java applet security, and MIME.
Click “Save & Close.”
