This question is too vague to give a specific answer to. Do you mean the old COM port of a PC? If so, this is an RS232 type port which is "point to point" - in other words you can only connect one device to it. There are many other serial interfacing technologies, some of which support many devices attached to one port - e.g. RS485 which is a multidrop bus and can have many devices connected to one pair of wires. Modern interfaces like USB are also serial in nature. USB can support up to 127 devices on a multilevel connection structure, but you can still only connect one pair of devices on a single wire. To attach more devices use a USB hub (or lots of them). Standard USB hubs spread one connection to either 4 or seven downstream ports.
