Getting HWID nRF9160 custom HW board and using LTE LINK monitor with custom Hardware

Dear Nordic devzone community,

I have designed a custom board using nRF9160 and I am able to send and read out certain AT commands which confirms to me that most of the embedded part of the design functions fine. Now in order to use the dashboard of nordic cloud I need to get the HW ID, this is normally on the DK indicated with the sticker (see attachment). Now of course, on my assembled custom PCB there is no sticker indicating what this HWID is so I need a way (probably through software or ATCommands) to get this HWID. I already managed to get the IMEI through commands. I wonder if somebody can help me get this HW ID of my custom PCB so that I can use the Nordic cloud dashboarding.

The second question is not really related to the first problem. Whenever I want to use the LTE Link monitor with my custom board and a USB UART bridge from Motorola, the LTE Link monitor does not recognize this device, however, if I open my COMport I can send and receive AT commands meaning the issue is not with the USB UART device or drivers but with LTE Link monitor. My assumption is that only the onboard programmer and USB-UART bridge on Nordic DK's are currently supported. Would it somehow be possible to use the USB UART bridge on my DK to connect it to the Tx and Rx of my custom board in order for the LTE-Link Monitor to work with my custom PCB? I need this in order to add the certificates to use with the dashboarding of Nordic cloud.

If anything is unclear please let me know then I can send more information or support with additional attachments.

Kind regards,
