Registering device at Sigfox Backend
Before you start, update your device to the latest firmware. Select stable firmware in Firmware updater. After firmware update is done, Sigfox ID and Sigfox PAC were assigned to your device.
Copy Sigfox ID and Sigfox PAC from the last screen of firmware updater.
Sigfox ID and Sigfox Pac is assigned to your device just once during the first update process. Sigfox ID and Sigfox Pac will not change after successive firmware updates.
After first firmware update you can also get your Sigfox ID and Sigfox PAC through a couple of commands via the REPL.
from network import Sigfox
import binascii
# initalise Sigfox for RCZ1 (You may need a different RCZ Region)
sigfox = Sigfox(mode=Sigfox.SIGFOX, rcz=Sigfox.RCZ1)
# print Sigfox Device ID
print(binascii.hexlify(sigfox.id()))
# print Sigfox PAC number
print(binascii.hexlify(sigfox.pac()))
