How to track BTS/BSID or Base Station ID or Globe Tower:

This tutorial is how to tune your antenna on the right path according on the available BTS in your area, for signal strength effectiveness.
"DIY, rather than waiting for a globe technician to do it"
- tagal nila dumating ska gagawin lng nilang 100% signal mo pero di mo makukuha full potential ng Internet mo, specially when it comes w/ ur registered DL rate (at least)

ADDITIONAL INFO:
4G data networks using Long Term Evolution (LTE) or WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless communications standard designed to provide 30 to 40 megabit-per-second data rates, providing up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed stations. It is a part of a “fourth generation,” or 4G, of wireless-communication technology. WiMax far surpasses the 30-metre (100-foot) wireless range of a conventional Wi-Fi local area network, offering a metropolitan area network with a signal radius of about 50 km (30 miles)

3G networks that descended from GSM. 3GPP technologies evolved as follows.
• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) offered speeds up to 114 Kbps.
• Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) reached up to 384 Kbps.
• UMTS Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) offered downlink speeds up to 1.92 Mbps.
• High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) boosted the downlink to 14Mbps.

ito dahilan bakit natin kailangan iikot ikot pa ang antenna kasi panel type antenna ntin

EXAMPLE of plotted BTS in your area (from your destination to available BTS)
madae p yan sa mandaluyong area p lang pero tinamad na ako, ok na yang tatlo ^^ kau n lng maghanap ng sa inyo, example lng nmn yan ^^
blue - your location (mandaluyong)
red - available bts

first:
track down your location using google maps
- right click on google map where your located at,
- choose "direction from here"

open the cell id list
- control f to find your location for example "eastwood" "quezon city"
- copy longtitude and latitude

back to google map
- copy and paste longtitude and latitude of bts location on B or destination latitude first then comma space and longtitude
- then click GET DIRECTIONS

* search mo lang ung cell id sa google map if kung ano pa malapit sa lugar nyo makikita u din ano dapat na DL_FEC makukuha mo dahil sa lau or distance ng area mo sa bts
* dahil dito matatapat mo na yung antenna mo sa pinakamalapit na bts
* after mo maitapat sa bts na yun, check mo modem gui mo for details much better if take note mo ung BSID at signal strength nya at ung connect frequency, para pwede mo maforce connect yung modem sa bts n yun if sa tingin mo na stable at mabilis ka dun, remember hindi lahat ng araw stable dun sa bts na yun kasi minsan mabagal ka dun sa kadahilanan na congested na or marami nang nakaconnect or minsan walang connection dahil maintenance yung bts n yun kaya hahanap ka ng ibang bts, no choice eh, kaya magtyatyga ka sa ibang bts or hayaan mo na lang mscan automatically ung modem.
* and one more concern, depende ka rin sa area mo baka dae humaharang or mga building or high establishment na nakaharang sa pinakamalapit na bts mo, apektado rin ang signal mo... if gnun mangyari, i lihis mo lng ng paonti onti signal mo bka mkakuha ng masmaganda..

NOTE: kahit konting galaw at lihis ng directional antenna sa bts malaking epekto na sa signal strength, DL_fec at download rate

* every time na magcoconect yung modem ngscan sya gamit ang connect frequency every connect frequency has a bts id kaya kada power on mo iba iba ang bsid mo kung saan ka nakaconnect.
* saka kpg naDC ka, since iilan lng scanset mo, magfoforce connect sya dun sa gusto mong bts gamit ang connect frequency para sa kanya

* papano mag force connect on your desired bts.
- access your modem gui as admin then on the bottom left side ng gui
click WIMAX
choose SCANSET
- remove other DL frequency under expert scan mode
- maglagay ka ng isa, dalawa, or tatlo na frequency para sa gusto mong bts

remember: back up default seven scanset para alam mo if ano ilalagay mo

connect frequency ~ bsid it depends in your area

2507500 KHz BSID 01:00:1
2602000 KHz BSID 00:01:2
2612000 KHz BSID 01:0e:3
2638000 KHz BSID 01:01:4
2622000 KHz BSID 0f:1a:5
2505000 KHz BSID b1:12:6
2510000 KHz BSID 1d:1a:7

for example nakatapat na antenna ko sa pinakamalapit na bts,
ang connect frequency na ginagamit nya is 2602000,
dahil un ung connect frequency nya ang nakukuha nyang BSID is 00:01:2
pwede ko syang maforce connect lagi sa bsid n un using connect frequency.

in my case... isa lang iniwan qng frequency kc dito sa bsid na un at connect frequency mataas dl rate q.
NOTE: after mo maitapat sa pinakamalapit na bts at malakas ang signal strength mo pati dl_fec mo maganda, dun ka na magpalit palit ng frequency kc may bsid na mas maganda ang dal rate mo kesa sa isang bts/bsid

procedure to remember
Install the antenna on area with clear view of the donor cell (WIMAX BTS) as much as possible. (more blocked by high establishment, less signal strength)
Point the antenna directly on the donor cell (WIMAX BTS) (for easy detection and connection to sync from modem to bts)
Adjust the up and down tilt of the antenna if necessary (kasi hindi nmn sobrang patag ng kinakatauyaan eh, saka iba iba height ng bts, pls refer to cell id reference)

Use the modem LED indicator and modem GUI WIMAX status to find the best
signal and link quality while adjusting the position of the antenna. You can adjust
the up and down tilt of the antenna. The following are the preferred WIMAX
status:
RSSI: -57.5 dBm to -47.5 dBm (LED Status Indicator: Four LEDs on)
DL_FEC: 16-QAM(CTC)1/2 ~ 64-QAM(CTC)3/4
UP_FEC: QPSK (CTC)1/2
