This command is sent by MkII when pressing Automap button:

for automap mode
The second to last byte changes from 00 to 01, as in reference.
The same command was sent automatically, when I've started Automap server app.

this one was sent when I've switched advanced template to Ableton. The message is the same, except that byte for template pick was changed from 02 (automap) to 04 (ableton), as in reference.
It doesn't seem that "ping" system command is needed. But when I shut down Automap server app, MkII immediately shows "Automap is offline" message on LCD. So, maybe, there IS some "hidden" port, as the guy who wrote Linux alternative, mentioned.
P.S. I've enabled "HUI" in Automap settings, so that "Automap HUI" port appeared in MIDI Devices, but there's no extra info going through it, which sniffer can detect.
MkII user guide also mentions that "hidden" port, but doesn't mention "Automap MIDI".
