Doug Fleenor preset box

Greetings. Just joined, first post. Let's say we've got a Gadget II interface here that connects to a Doug Fleenor Preset 10 box. (TV studio, so all lights are static, a combination of DMX units and PAR lights) The laptop that used to run the EOS software crashed, and another laptop has replaced it. 

This is my first foray into the world of EOS and lighting control. My understanding is that the Fleenor box records the settings that are sent from the EOS program, and can record different presets depending on your needs. My question is: Can I bypass the Fleenor box and plug the Gadget II directly into the first DMX in the daisy-chain, and modify the lights that way? Or do I just leave the Fleenor in the circuit and just make/record my changes that way?

Thanks.

    The chain should be console > preset box > everything else, when the preset box sees DMX from the console it gives up control and (if you press the record button) records dmx levels; the preset 10 should only output its own DMX if it doesn't see anything from the console. You can bypass the Preset 10 entirely but its designed to act inline with the console (so that it can tell when the console is off and act as backup).
