Question about Radial active J48

A friend and I did some recording with this nice D.I. awhile back at his set up. Now I'm home with my bass plugged into the unit with the XLR running into an M-Audio Fastrack pro. The phantom power switch on the M-Audio is on but the 48V power check light is not lit on the J48; however I'm getting sound. Does it sound like the 48V check light is just not working or is there something else I'm missing?
