The network monitor uses a multithreaded scanning engine to scan all remote computers and domains to retrieve information about them. The information itself is shown in a spreadsheet like table-format that can be exported into various formats including html, text or csv.

The information that are displayed after the network scan are – among others – computer names, IP addresses, operating systems, uptime, MAC address, domain name and user name. The collected data can be sorted in numerous ways. The free version of NEWT has a few limitations like only being able to scan and monitor 25 computers, no SNMP device detection or multithreaded IP Range discovery.

Next to the computer analysis it is possible to send a few commands to remote computers in the network. It is possible to send messages, ping computers or to turn them on or off remotely.
