AP Configuration Schemes
For information about programming the serial configuration device or
programming the supported parallel flash memory, refer to the
Configuring Cyclone III Devices chapter of the Cyclone III Device Handbook.
You must set the mode select pins (MSEL[3..0]) to the AS or AP
configuration scheme to use the remote system upgrade in your system.

system upgrade mode. The MSEL pin settings in remote system upgrade
mode is the same as in the standard configuration mode. Standard
configuration mode refers to normal Cyclone III device configuration
mode with no support for remote system upgrades, and the remote
system upgrade circuitry is disabled. When using remote system upgrade
in Cyclone III devices, you must enable the remote update mode option
setting in the Quartus® II software.
The serial configuration device uses the AS configuration scheme to
configure the Cyclone III device.
The supported parallel flash uses the AP configuration scheme to
configure the Cyclone III device.
