+Connect your modality to Orthanc
+================================
+
+This section explains how to connect a modality to an Orthanc server.
+
+First, retrieve the IP address of your Orthanc Server.  Make sure
+to retrieve the IP address of the correct network interface
+(in this case ``123.124.125.126``).
+You should also make sure that your firewall enables incoming traffic
+on the DICOM port for that network interface (``4242`` by default).
+
+Then, start Orthanc without specifying a
+configuration file (i.e. using its default configuration).  On your modality, 
+search for "settings/network settings" (exact naming is platform dependent).
+You should find this kind of information
+
+.. image:: ../images/ConfigureModality1.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 500px
+
+
+Write down the AET, IP and DICOM port of the modality (in this case,
+respectively ``ECHO1``, ``123.124.125.10`` and ``104``). 
+
+Then, still in your modality network settings, you should find a panel
+in which you can configure a PACS or a target DICOM Server.  Enter
+the following information (adapt it with the IP address of your
+Orthanc Server):
+
+.. image:: ../images/ConfigureModality2.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 500px
+
+
+Once you've entered this configuration in your modality, you might
+have access to a "*Test connection/C-ECHO*" button to validate that
+the modality can reach the Orthanc Server.
+
+Then, stop Orthanc, update you :ref:`configuration file
+<configuration>`, and declare your modality in the ``DicomModalities``
+section, given the parameters you wrote down above::
+
+  // The list of the known DICOM modalities
+  "DicomModalities" : {
+    "echo1" : [ "ECHO1", "123.124.125.10", 104 ]
+  },
+
+Restart Orthanc using this newly created configuration file, and
+you will be able to send data from your modality to your Orthanc Server.
