If you have an AlphaPix 16 controller and are working in the Layout tab, you can only assign ports 1-3. It looks like it is using the Serial Port capabilities (only 3 ports) for the string ports?

I would need to see your layout to see why.

Here you go. If I try to assign the Star to any port larger than 3. you get an error and it reverts to port 3.

That is odd, I reset my test configuration and I could set the port correctly, I downloaded the files I posted and I could set the port correctly, go figure... It works now.
Thanks for all your hard work!

If the protocol had been set to dmx this would be expected behaviour

No, the protocol was not DMX previously. I have some more information. When you add a new model, you are limited to ports 1-3. You cannot assign it to any other port. See attached video.
