Taken from CCO Error Message Decoder:
%TR-3-OPENFAIL: Unit [dec], open failed: [chars], [chars]
The Token Ring interface was unable to insert itself into a Token Ring
that is either busy or broken. The first character string in this error
message indicates the stage of initialization at which the error has
occurred, and the second provides information about the error.
Recommended Action: To open the interface again, enter clear interface
tokenring command. If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly
as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco
technical support representative, and provide the representative with
the gathered information.
You can also reference the following, also found on CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/tr1906.htm
There are several steps that a token ring interface has to take before
it successfully can begin communications on the ring. The first step is
for it to check its own connection to the MAU. If that passes it then
sends a signal to open up the relay in the MAU which allows it to
attempt ring insertion. It is this step that appears to be failing. As
I interpret that error, it is failing because another device on the ring
is beaconing.
Try completely disconnecting one of the routers and see if the other
one successfully comes up. If so, then try the other router. If not, I
have no idea what's wrong. :-)

Disclaimer: I've never used token ring except for in class last week.
Take my advice with a grain of salt.

I have 2 routers {2502 & 2504}. Both TR are connected to ANDREW MAU
8228.
I am unable to bring up the interface. I tried setting ring speed to 4
& 16
but unsuccessful. I am using black box LT 056A Media Filters.
I did check the archives. Mr. Vincent Chong faced similar problem on
29th
March 2001 but there was no solution posted at the archive. This is
what I
found - Problem fixed. Just follow Cisco recommendation and it works.
Would appreciate, if he can share whatever info he was referring too.
