Go in AMP, click on "Maintenance" then "Config Edit"

Click on "zapata-channels.conf" and locate the channel that is your
incoming line. For the context of this line, put
"context=from-pstn-noanswer".

Then, go in "extensions_custom.conf" and define that context like this :
[from-pstn-noanswer]
exten => s,1,Wait,2   ; Wait 2 seconds, to get callerid
exten => s,2,Hangup

This will let your CDR grab the caller ID, then it will hangup, so it
won't answer the line.
If you don't want the Caller ID, just define it like this :
[from-pstn-noanswer]
exten => s,1,Hangup
