If you have analog FXO ports then the call is considered answered as soon as dialing is completed. Â This does not apply to SIP, PRI, or other technologies which support far end answer detection.<br>

Subject: [asterisk-users] Need help understanding CDR<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Attached is a sample CDR.<br>
<br>
I need some help to understand the "billsec" column.<br>
PS: the time value in billsec & duration is same.<br>
<br>
With reference to the attached log, what does the 10 sec / 6 sec / 2 sec correspond to:<br>
<br>
(a) Time between call connection to asterisk and disconnection from asterisk?<br>
(b) Time after welcome greeting and before hangup -- the time the call rang on the extension?<br>
(c) Or any other scenario<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Sans<br>
<br>
