Mac OSX Wi-Fi Location Changer
- Automatically changes the Mac OSX network location when Wi-Fi connection SSID changes
- Allows having different IP settings depending on the Wi-Fi SSID
Note: Mountain Lion compatible
Configuration
There are two areas that need to be modified in the locationchanger script, Locations and SSIDs. Both of which are case sensitive.
Locations
Edit locationchanger and change/add locations to be set:
Note: Ensure you use the exact names as they appear under "Location" in OSX's System Preferences -> Network
# LOCATIONS
Location_Automatic="Automatic"
Location_Work="Company Intranet"SSIDs
Edit locationchanger and add/edit SSIDs to be detected:
# SSIDS
SSID_TelekomPublic=Telekom
SSID_Home=HomeSSID
SSID_Work=WorkSSIDEdit/Add SSID -> LOCATION mapping to list:
# SSID -> LOCATION mapping
case $SSID in
$SSID_TelekomPublic ) LOCATION="$Location_Automatic";;
$SSID_Home ) LOCATION="$Location_Automatic";;
$SSID_Work ) LOCATION="$Location_Work";;
# ... add more hereMacOS Notifications
The script triggers a MacOS Notification, if you don't want this just delete the three lines that start with osascript around line 57. If you add or delete Locations, the case needs to be updated.
case $LOCATION in
$Location_Automatic )
# do stuff here you would do in Location_Automatic
osascript -e 'display notification "Network Location Changed to Automatic" with title "Network Location Changed"'
