That, though, is probably false. Panels still have an “audible silence” feature that can be selected to shut off NACs, do selective silence, or stuff like that. Case in point: the S3 has built-in sync protocols for System Sensor, Wheelock, and Gentex. If configured properly, touching the Silence option will perform audible silence over two wires. It’s not in the code for it to be done anymore (my high school, built in 2008, shuts off the horns and strobes upon silencing) but they can do it. Rather than calling it “audible silence”, most panels call it “signal silence” or “alarm silence” now.
You cut off the quote. New panels, like something that couldn’t be configured don’t do it, but you can of course configure it on smarter panels. Remember, this was originally a quickly typed facebook message.
