A DELNI has 8 male D connectors and one female.  You can attach a
DESTA to the female connector, throwing the little switch on the
DELNI, and run thin wire from there to your XENIX box.  Or you can
change the jumpers on your EXOS 205T card to activate the transceiver
cable connector and hook it up like the rest of your devices.
