Basically, you have three options:

1) Wait. It will eventually get to 32, but for how long is anybody's guess. Maybe a minute, maybe more, maybe less.
2) Increase your Max Connections if you want more than 31/32. However, I've seen that it will just as often stay one under even then: 37/38 - 41/42, etc.
3) Go to https://bitnodes.io/ and find some juicy nodes to add to your list using the addnode=IPADDRESS:8333 command. I've found this will usually max out my connection choice: 32/32 - 42/42, etc.

Thank you for response. However, I am ok with the number of outgoing connection. My issue is that there is NO incomming connections, so the numer 32 is grayed out. How can I make sure that I there are incoming connections?

I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to exactly. A connection is a connection . . . at least that's what I was taught. If you're connected to 32 connections then you are connected both ways, outgoing & receiving / incoming. You can always check your own node as being available and reachable to other nodes on the network by going to the website I gave you: https://bitnodes.io/

With regards to the right-hand-side number being grayed out, it is just a reference displaying how many nodes you have chosen as a maximum. It doesn't change unless you change the maximum and it will always be grayed out. It's just for looking at and smiling.

Cheers!
