Conventional 4-Way Light Switch Diagrams.
A - way switch is used on each end with one or more - way switches in between the two - way switches.
The 3-ware cable is installed through each light switch box location, however the 3wauy switches are installed at each end of the hallway and 4way switches are installed in all the switch locations in between the 3way switch locations.
Power at Light - Way Switch Wiring Diagram. The lever does not have an ON or OFF label.

How to use - way switches and - way switches to control lights from two or more locations.

By connecting one or more - way (intermediate) switches in-line, with - way switches at either en the load can be controlled from three or more .
