The counterpart to blocking: It lifts the block on a card again.

It is meant for commissioning and testing an installation – one blocks a test card and releases it again without having to switch to the library software. In day-to-day operation, unblocking belongs at the desk: Whoever was blocked should talk to a person, not to a machine.
