The Silence Method is used silence a specific Alarm instance. It is only available on an instance of an AlarmConditionType that also exposes the SilenceState. Normally, the NodeId of the Object instance is passed as the ObjectId to the Call Service. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore, Servers shall allow Clients to call the Silence Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId. The Method cannot be called with an ObjectId of the AlarmConditionType Node.
