It sounds like he just attached a single hose to the AIO and went to town.
This pic on Steve’s site illustrates the proper set up:
The carboy on the right is the receiving vessel (I.e. wine is being vacuumed in).
The bottle at the pump is for overflow, just in case, to keep wine out of your pump.
The pump connects to the bottle, the thin hosing (with valve) runs to the receiving carboy.
The large hose runs between the receiving carboy and the racking cane in the sending carboy on the left.
When you use your AIO, you should place your receiving carboy on the table; and your sending carboy on the floor. Better for degassing and controlling wine flow.
Did you push wine through the pump on your AIO??
