Irrespective of which terminal devices are involved in the call forwarding, a LANCOM VoIP router can handle a variety of tasks:
- Passthrough
 - Both subscribers in the call forwarding are at the same end of the connection, e.g. transfer from a local to a local subscriber.
 - Delegate
 - The call forwarding is not handled by the LANCOM VoIP router itself but by an upstream exchange, e.g. in a VoIP PBX that is accessible via a PBX line.
 - Switching
 - The LANCOM VoIP router handles the signaling and the data transfer between subscribers.
