Releasing an HMC Lock

If you have two HMCs connected to your CEC, one "locks" the other out from connecting to the CEC. This is done because a simultaneous connection can be counterproductive. However, if the HMC locking the other out is not functioning correctly, you must unlock it. When you unlock an HMC connection, another HMC can communicate with the CEC.

To release an HMC lock, select the CEC from the contents area and choose Release HMC Lock.
