The answer to that was just provided - but why would you want to know?

Unless you're planning on building your own transceiver, the pinout of
that particular connector is basically useless.  AUI connector pinouts
(as distinct from the mounting brackets) are one of the more precisely
standardised interfaces around - any 10Mbit/sec transceiver ever made
(for 10base5, 10bse2, 10baseT, 10baseFL - maybe others) will connect,
directly, or via an AUI cable, to that connector - nothing else will,
nor would it be sensible to try connecting anything else.
