AT&T PARTNER II Release 3.1 Programming And Use Instructions page 86

Abbreviated Ringing (#305)
Description
This System Programming procedure turns Abbreviated Ringing on or off at a
specific extension. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is on, any
incoming calls ring only once. The green light next to the line button flashes
until the call is answered or the caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until it
returns to the transfer return extension). This feature prevents incoming calls
from distracting users when they are busy on another call. To allow calls to ring
repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not Active.
Considerations
Receptionists, and others who handle many calls quickly, often turn
Abbreviated Ringing off, so they have an audible reminder of incoming calls.
Abbreviated Ringing works for outside, transferred, and intercom calls.
The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.
Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if
Abbreviated Ring is set to Not Active.
This feature applies only to system phones.
Valid Entries
1 = Active (incoming calls ring once)
2 = Not Active (incoming calls ring repeatedly)
