It has been a long time since I did an upgrade from an R4 but I seem to recall there was a hardware element involved going from R4 to R8. At the minimum it was processor and TDM bus cables. Were these parts upgraded also?

Your INADS connection on an SI is through the processor board so it is possible that the port is nonfunctional on one of the processors (these boards will be refurbished, not new). Test this by swapping the processors between A and B, when the switch comes back up make sure SPE A is active and try to dial in. Then interchange the switch and try again. If you can access the switch from SPE B now but not SPE A then you have a bad port on the processor in SPE A.
