nRF9160 DK Connecting problems with nRF Cloud

Bergmann

Hello, I tried to set up my nRF9160 with this tutorial and there is a problem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZQcmU3KIMY&t=216s

According to the tutorial, LED 3 and the LED 4 should be blinking after 3 minutes, what means that the board is connected to the nRF Cloud.
However on my nRF9160, the LED 4  never starts blinking, even if I wait 10 minutes longer than required.
I tried to push the reset button a few times, I turned the nRF9160 on and off a few times and I also started the "Add LTE Device" on nRF Cloud a few times.

But LED 4 still remains dark.

There were 2 things different compared to the tutorial video:


1) The Sim Card Registration worked fine, but when I came to the window in the picture below, I had an IMEI, but I found no PIN. So, I tried the option without a pin (Red mark in the picture).

Maybe I need a PIN, but where do I get it? I tried to insert every possible number I found on my nRF9160, but none of them worked. 

I have already installed the latest firmware update for the nRF9160 successfully. So what did I do wrong? Or how can I finally connect the nRF9160 to the nRF Cloud?

- Thanks for your answers

    Am I doing this right?: 

    I open the prj.conf file in the editor, add the lines to the bottom of the file and save it.

    Then I try to load the asset tracker in the Segger Embedded Studio, there is an error message:

    If I load the asset_tracker without changing the prj.conf file, it loads and runs without errors. Do I have to change something else too? 

    Thanks for your answers!

    The configurations I gave you are only defined on the master branch of ncs, not the v1.0.0 tag. Make sure you're on the master branch when building.

    So do I have to setup the SDK again, but this time with 

    git checkout master

    command instead of 

    git checkout v1.0.0

    ? Or does I have to change the 

    west init -m github.com/.../fw-nrfconnect-nrf

    command?

    Or how do I get to the master branch?

    Thanks for your answers!

    To get to the master branch just run 

    git checkout master
    west update

    OK, adding the 4 lines 

    CONFIG_LTE_LEGACY_PCO_MODE=y
    CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_STATIC_IPV4=y
    CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_NBIOT_GPS=y
    CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_LTE_M_GPS=n

    to the prj.conf file worked and I could flash the nrf with it for a test.

    When I add the line 

    CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_STATIC_IPV4_ADDR=52.87.36.155

    to the other lines in the prj.conf then I get this error message:

    Is it right, that I use the first IP here?:

    Or do I have to use some of the other listed IPs?
