Quick correction to my text below, the
initiator MAY set the timer; however, if it uses the timer, it is to:
“initialize the
Maximum Connect Time Limit timer as specified in table 162 (see 8.2.3.1);”
And table 166 does not have the appropriate wording.

Subject: Clarification on MAXIMUM
CONNECT TIME LIMIT field
Table 166 of SAS2r14f only discusses the initial value of
the timer for this in SSP and STP for a target; however, in 8.2.3.4.1 the text
clearly states that if there is a value in the target for this timer then the
initiator shall use that value for the time limit when it enters the connected
state. Table 166 should be updated with two additional entries for this
timer value.
