How to connect multiple serial devices to the same serial ?

I am currently running out of serial ports to connect several devices to mbed serial ports. I will have to use a serial multiplexer to connect 4 devices to the same port , say (p28, p27.

When in my program I write something like this:

Camera_LS_Y201 cam1(p28, p27); SMARTWAV sWav(p28,p27,p29); (TX,RX,Reset);

My serial port stops responding?

Does anybody know how to fix this issue and what are the solutions to connect 7 serial devices to 1 mbed ? You answer will be very appreciated. Thank you.

I have found that Camera_LS_Y201 refuses to work with its current library when the same serial pins have been assigned to other devices.
