    They have the same liimits as all devices. I believe the channel count is 3999, the level count is 500 and the port count is 64. Don't quote me but, off the top of my head, I think those are correct.
  • Port count can go into the 100's and beyond.

    Same with channels and levels - only limit is going to be the the integer data type

    ... but just because you can doesn't mean you you should.

    And this is why I recommended the port count stay below 64. I've ran into issues when i've tried to go higher. I never bothered to suss out why or on which masters/firmware it seemed to happen. I've just found 64 seems to be the ceiling for some reason. Same thingwith levels. It seems like they quit working over 500.
