How to dial a ring group from within a dial plan

Hi

I have a Raspberry Pi Zero with RasPBX with Asterisk 13.13.1 upgraded to 13.15.0 & FreePBX 13.0.190.11 upgraded to 13.0.192.8

I am not using any SIP provider. The aim initially is to filter incoming PSTN calls via an OBi110.

I've defined 2 ring groups: 500 for softphones from 501 etc and 600 for hardphones from 601 (the OBi110 handset 601 is the only hardphone at the moment)

When a PSTN call comes in the Dial Plan has this command:

same => n,Dial(SIP/500&SIP/600)

However this gives errors:

I have tested calling the two ring groups from softphones and that works.

I know I can list all the extensions separately or create a macro, but 1) I want to avoid having to remember to change the code when adding an extension; and 2) it just seems a natural /logical thing to ring a ring group.

I've spent a couple of hours on the web and surprised that not more people have done this.

BTW, FreePBX is an excellent product

Thanks for reading.
