Agreed, but the radio is most likely getting assigned an IP via DHCP in the
router, and most folks don't change the default settings. Then again, maybe
I'm way off on this - I don't have an Omni VII and don't know what is
required for the setup other than it's expected to reside behind a router in
the user's environment.

Yes, routers and similar network operations devices make use of 000 and also
255 issued for certain operations (by convention, not necessity) and for
that matter 1 and 254 are usually reserved for certain tasks as well.
Since the radio is an end use device, and not a router or other network
operations or management device, I can't see that this is much of a
limitation, in practice.
