If you belay from the top of the route, or from the base.
Normally you would bottom belay. If for some reason you approached the climb from the top of the cliff you would do a top-belay.
Also, if you are doing a really long (multi-pitch) climb, you and your partner leapfrog eachother up the cliff - each doing a length of the rope at a time. This means that every other "pitch" would be a top belay.
