Default vag com help

Just hooked up my newly bought vag com to my 98.5 A4. and it is not working. The green light on the vag com is not lighting up? Does it light up when you hook it into the car, or when it's hooked up to the computer? Trying to figure out if this is a defect. Yes, it is hooked into both the same time.
