UCMA 3.0: UserEndPoint BeginEstablish exception: Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.ConnectionFailureException

Question

Hello,
  I'm using UCMA 3.0 to write a web service that creates a userEndpoint and attempts to register it via BeginEstablish().  Before this gets called, a CollaborationPlatform object is created and started, successfully.  But when I try to establish
the userEndpoint, I get the following error:
Endpoint  failed to establish: Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.ConnectionFailureException:Unable to establish a connection. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.30.228.57:5061
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndConnect(IAsyncResult asyncResult)

Ok, I followed the procedures for 'General Application Activation' at the site Michael recommended.   I'm still getting the same error:
Endpoint  failed to establish: Microsoft.Rtc.Signaling.ConnectionFailureException:Unable to establish a connection. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period
of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.30.228.57:5061
   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndConnect(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at Microsoft.Rtc.Internal.Sip.TcpTransport.OnConnected(Object arg)
The only place where I deviated was activating a port.  The example uses port 6000.  I entered port 5061, only
because the error I was getting specified that port.  Is this correct?
I can see the application pool that I created in the Lync control panel, but its status is 'N/A' and has a red X under the Replication column.  My application is also visable
under 'Trusted Application'
Any other ideas?
