Update IP-VFC Firmware

We regularly release new firmware for the IP-VFC card. You can download the firmware from the IP-VFC release notes page, and on the Resources page.

The updater tool is a PowerShell script, downloaded from the Resources page alongside the firmware. Updating stops d3Service and d3Buddy, and takes around seven minutes, plus two minutes for the cards to reboot.
