I had a similar problem once with a device which needed the server to be online but wouldn't open any windows share and didn't generate much lan traffic either. I used a script to ping the device and to switch the active power scheme to prevent standby:
[CODE]@echo off
powercfg -getactivescheme | find /i "Ausbalanciert" && (goto OffLoop)
powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

:OffLoop
ping -n 1 -w 5000 192.168.2.43 | find /i "TTL" && (goto Online)
timeout /T 60 /nobreak
goto OffLoop

:Online
powercfg -setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
:OnLoop
timeout /T 300 /nobreak
ping -n 1 -w 5000 192.168.2.43 | find /i "TTL" && (goto OnLoop)
powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e
goto OffLoop

exit [/CODE]
Of course you would have to adapt the power schemes to your needs (I utilized "Balanced" and "High performance") and adapt the GUID (check with "powercfg -list" in a command prompt).
Maybe it helps

P.S.: This will only work if PS++ won't force standby and let Windows handle everything.
