ESP8266 
AT Instruction Set
15.
AT+CIPMODE – Set transfer mode 
UART-WiFi passthrough mode (transparent transmission) can only be enabled in TCP single 
connection mode or UDP of which remote IP and port won’t change (parameter <UDP mode> is 0 
when using command "AT+CIPSTART" to create a UDP transmission) .!
During UART-WiFi passthrough transmission, if it is TCP connection and the TCP connection breaks, 
ESP8266 will keep trying to reconnect until "+++" is input to quit from transmission. After sending the 
"+++" token, please wait for at least 1 second before sending the next AT command.!
If it is a normal TCP transmission and TCP connection breaks, ESP8266 will prompt " [<link ID>, ] 
CLOSED" , and will not attempt to reconnect. Users can call "AT+CIPSTART" to create a connection 
again if it is needed.!
