- <synopsis>Log calls that are never answered.</synopsis>
- <description><para>Define whether or not to log unanswered calls. Setting this to "yes" will
- report every attempt to ring a phone in dialing attempts, when it was not
- answered. For example, if you try to dial 3 extensions, and this option is "yes",
- you will get 3 CDR's, one for each phone that was rung. Some find this information horribly
- useless. Others find it very valuable. Note, in "yes" mode, you will see one CDR, with one of
- the call targets on one side, and the originating channel on the other, and then one CDR for
- each channel attempted. This may seem redundant, but cannot be helped.</para>
- <para>In brief, this option controls the reporting of unanswered calls which only have an A
- party. Calls which get offered to an outgoing line, but are unanswered, are still
- logged, and that is the intended behavior. (It also results in some B side CDRs being
- output, as they have the B side channel as their source channel, and no destination
- channel.)</para>

+ Define whether or not to log unanswered calls that don't involve an outgoing party. Setting
+ this to "yes" will make calls to extensions that don't answer and don't set a side B channel
+ (such as by using the Dial application) receive CDR log entries. If this option is set to
+ "no", then those log entries will not be created. Unanswered calls which get offered to an
+ outgoing line will always receive log entries regardless of this option, and that is the
