When connected to a CPU-CAxx(FIT)GY, the DAI12-4(FIT)GY can be accessed by a
host computer through a network. In addition, the Module can be allocated to the
memory controlled by the Controller Module according to a given Device ID.

memory that is controlled by the Controller Module.
For detailed specifications on the memory controlled by the Controller Module, see the
