-    Ports II:
-        min/max number of connections
-           (failure to fit these numbers means port is "deactivated")
-        "Normal" ports are min=1, max=1
-        "Multiports" are min=0, max=None
-        "Binary" ports are min=2, max=2

-        Input ports: min/max numbers of connections
