As far as I know current firmware (for 1541 ultimate 2) does not support standalone mode. It can be used as a C64/C128 cartridge only. Maybe if you connect its serial port to the plus/4 while it's plugged into the C64 (and it is turned on) it can work but I'm not sure.
Edit:
I've just checked 1541ultimate.net forums: I was right. Currently there is no standalone mode and they can't tell when will it be ready (if ever). But you can use it in a C64 as a cartridge and connect it to an other computer. C64 will be a file server and the other one will see a 1541.
IMHO that does not worth it. At least not for me as I have no that much space to place a C64 AND a plus/4 on the desk to use them. :(
