Hi, I'm confused again

If I have a Cyclone III FPGA, a EPCS configuration device, and I want to use USB Blaster to download configuration data to the FPGA, I understand than what is happen is this:

1 .The EPCS device is programed by USB Blaster

2 . EPCS device download configuration to the FPGA after each power up

Then am I using AS + JTAG ?

Is Figure 9-7 in the document http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyc3/cyc3_ciii51016.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyc3/cyc3_ciii51016.pdf) what I need

Thanks for your answers, I´m trying to understand configuration schemes
