+Such a configuration would enable Orthanc to connect to two DICOM
+stores (for instance, other Orthanc instances) that listens on the
+localhost on the port 2000 & 2001. The modalities that are known to Orthanc
 can be queried::
 
-    $ curl http://localhost:8042/modalities
+    $ curl http://localhost:8042/modalities?expand
+
+The modalities can then be updated through the API too::
+
+    $ curl -v -X PUT http://localhost:8042/modalities/sample -d '{"AET" : "ORTHANCC", "Host": "127.0.0.1", "Port": 2002}'
+
 
+Note that, by default, modalities are stored in Orthanc configuration files
+and are updated in Orthanc memory only.  If you want your modifications
+to be persistent, you should configure Orthanc to store its modalities
+in the database.  This is done through this configuration::
+
+    ...
+    "DicomModalitiesInDatabase" : true,
+    ...
