Not getting UDP connection to work with AT+CIPSTA and AT+CIPSEND

So I am trying to establish UDP connection using AT+CIPSTA_CUR, but whenever I am sending message using AT+CIPSEND, I get "ERROR" and "link is not valid". I am supposed to be sending "Hello" only once but comes up as four times and get "ERROR" and "Link is not valid". For code I am using to establish connection, what would be the best option to get rid of this error ?

-- Prep Socket for Data Send -- AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR

-- Send String -- HelloHelloHelloHello -- Prep Socket for Data Send -- AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR AT+CIPSEND=4,20

link is not valid

ERROR

-- Send String -- HelloHelloHelloHello
