XBee Not Resetting on XCTU

I'm connecting a XBee Series 2 on a breakout board to an Arduino to configure it. I soldered some header pins on to the breakout board to make the connections. Ultimately, I'm going to connect the Arduino with a Raspberry Pi over ZigBee.

I run XCTU on my Mac and the software recognizes the XBee device. I can write the PAN ID to it, though it won't let me update it to be in Coordinator API mode. It says to reset it, which I attempt to do by connecting the RST pin to ground. That doesn't work though.

How else can I attempt to manually reset the XBee? Or am I even going about coordinating the XBee in the correct way?

Make sure RTS is connected as well -- that control signal is required to get into the bootloader when installing new firmware.
