The workstations in a CAG can be made to silence the horn for all workstations. The issue with the alarm panel / table files needing to be the same has to do with recovering alarms from a backup workstation not silencing the horns. This can be confusing because both CAGs and backup workstations are configured in the commgrp.cfg file.

I don't think this will work for Priority and non-Priority stations (receiving different alarms). But it has been a while since I worked on the commgrp.cfg.
