You're probably making things more difficult by using a Command activity. If you just need to test that you have a functional connection, you could start your activity chain with a simple replication activity. The primary thing is to select all Skip options - Skip Insert, Skip Update, and Skip Deletion.
This way, the "test" activity will run and will end with an error if Notes is unreachable. But if it DOES work, the activity won't actually take any action.
(You could even build a small test form in Notes and table on the back-end for it, so that it doesn't waste any time on processing (skipping) records.)
Then, set the first "real" activity as a dependant to this activity, set to run Upon Success. Then build the dependant activity chain from there.
It's normally assumed as a prerequisite that the servers will be up and running. But with this trick you can take the step of testing first.
