There following parameters are available:

Substitution model parameters - selection of the Markov model of substitution:

Substitution model -  model of substitution.

Equilibrium frequencies -  equilibrium frequencies.

Transition/transversion ratio -  fix or estimate the transition/transversion ratio in the maximum likelihood framework.

Proportion of invariable sites -  the proportion of invariable sites, i.e., the expected frequency of sites that do not evolve, can be fixed or estimated.

Number of substitution rate categories -  number of substitution rate categories.

Gamma shape parameter -  the shape of the gamma distribution determines the range of rate variation across sites.

Branch support parameters - selection of the method that is used to measure branch support:

Use fast likelihood method -  use fast likelihood method.

Perform bootstrap - the support of the data for each internal branch of the phylogeny can be estimated using non-parametric bootstrap.

Tree searching parameters - selection of the tree topology searching algorithm:

Make initial tree automatically -  initial tree automatically.
