1400 Ethernet Limit

I know the 1766-L32 has a 16 connection limit
If I have set up 2 messages to be read from another 1400 is this considered 2 connections or 1

"The MicroLogix 1400 supports a maximum of 32 EtherNet/IP connections and
32 Modbus TCP connections, allowing a maximum of 32 outgoing and a
maximum of 32 incoming simultaneous connections with up to 64 other devices
or applications..."

This would be considered 1 connection.

Explicit messaging is by nature an unconnected data exchange (not counting against any limits); the user could choose a 'connected' state for said data transfer at configuration time if the application requires it though; the latter scenario will count against the maximum number of established connections.

Thanks. I was concerned since I am reading data from 14 other sources and pulling all the data off at the one point.
